The objective is to make travel a pleasurable, relaxing moment for drivers and passengers.

To that end, Renault uses a human-centric approach to broadly define the most suitable equipment for traveling comfort (roominess, comfort, well-being), road performance (roadholding, ride comfort) and safety.

The main aim, then, is to develop top-level, easy-to-use solutions in these three areas. And, obviously, at an affordable price for customers, in line with innovation for all!

And so we are continuing our research on facilitating traveling and driving comfort through modular design, multimedia technology, driving aids, roominess, handling, acoustic comfort, ergonomics, health and well-being.

The development of connected services and collaborative driving backs up and rounds out the three dimensions mentioned above.

Bringing drivers and passengers information in real time and continuity of use across their different environments contribute to making mobility easy and enjoyable. Using robotics technology and sensor merging could lead to a vehicle that drops you off outside the movie theater and parks itself in a place it has reserved earlier. And this could happen sooner than you think!

“Innovation for all” is a complex equation made even more fascinating by the fact that we have to factor in Renault’s international dimension and its markets. Mobility constraints, vehicle use and consumer electronics equipment are obviously different in Latin America, Europe and India and are disparate parameters that we have to integrate in our studies.  

Generally speaking, innovation for all is about easy-to-use systems at broadly affordable prices. Ergonomists work on the first point, integrating day-to-day technologies such as touch screens, movement-activated controls and so on as perfectly as possible into the automotive universe. For the second, the objective is to use the same equipment as much as possible across vehicle ranges, which gets the most our of Renault’s investments and as a result brings down the final cost for the customer.
