H1st Vision Concept car Revealed by Renault-Backed Consortium, Software République

H1^st vision, a new concept car, has been unveiled by Software République, an open innovation ecosystem created by six European companies. The partners are Atos, Dassault Systèmes, Orange, Renault Group, STMicroelectronics and Thales.

The consortium says H1^st vision is packed with the expertise of its members. It was developed by a team of 100 people in just six months. 

The car's innovative features include: a driver and vehicle health monitor and assistant, and predictive alerts to protect occupants and other people on the road, using predictive alerts.

This physical vehicle also doubles up as a virtual twin in a digital universe where systems that are currently independent (infrastructure, energy, public services, users of different categories) communicate.

This makes it possible to model, visualise and simulate the different use cases that could arise in the real world. 

Software République intends to launched 10 new services and products, incubate 50 or more startups, and offer services in more than 50 geographies around the world by 2025.

Eric Feunteun, Chief Operating Officer, Software République, says: "The H1^st vision concept car is a connected, physical and virtual object that demonstrates both a robust method for collaboration between the partners and how the technologies of Dassault Systèmes, Orange, ST Microelectronics, Renault Group and Thales complement each other to build the mobility of the future."

Created only two years ago, Software République is staging the world premiere of its collaborative concept at the Viva Technology 2023 exhibition.
