According to foreign media reports, in May 2017, the interACT project was launched and the new international R&D project was funded by the European Union. In the next three years, Hella and its project partners will study how to achieve communication between autonomous vehicles and non-autonomous road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers. When it comes to communication between vehicles and humans, lighting plays an important role. According to Michael Kleinkes, vice president of Development Lighting & Innovation at Hella, “However, today's vehicle interior and exterior lighting devices are far from a substitute for eye contact, gestures, and language. For this reason, the company wanted to develop a new system. To achieve the above functions." First, researchers need to specify the scenarios that need to be communicated. Then, they want to study the best way to achieve the above test results, whether it is the use of projections or symbols or colors. Kleinkes said: "Be sure to keep the on-board communication running smoothly." Hella will also create a prototype vehicle and then embed the lighting module in the vehicle. To achieve this goal, the partner will be involved in and cover the entire value-added chain. R&D is an important part of HELLA DNA. Its focus is on the new technologies involved in the core market trends of the automotive industry, such as: autopilot, interconnection and digitization, energy efficiency and electrification, and industrialization. The company is developing high-definition lighting systems, the importance of which is gradually highlighted. In the future, lighting equipment will also have other additional features.
