The importance of the automotive industry for the EU’s economy

• EU is one of the largest exporters of vehicles and vehicle components in the world• Trade surplus €90 billion (€90B)

• Overall EU-28 trade surplus of goods: €23B• Trade surplus for services: €133B.

• Taxation: €413 billion in EU15 alone • 13.3 million jobs (6.1% of all EU jobs)

• automotive manufacturing 2.5m jobs (8.3% of EU manufacturing employment• R&D investment €54B per year

• EU’s #1 investor in R&D (27% of total EU spending on innovation)• World’s #1 investor in automotive R&D.• Compare total budget for Horizon 2020 (FP8) €13B annual (€80B for 6 years 2014–2020)• Smart, green and integrated transport €6B• EU-funded research <2% of total, but an essential enabler• Innovation spending growth 7.4%, (substantially higher than growth of the EU economy)

Main socioeconomic challenges addressed (Nov 2018)

9

1 Autonomous vehicles and improved road safety2017: 25,300 killed, 135,000 seriously injured• Self driving vehicles are arriving• Improved EU competitiveness (jobs & growth)• Reduction of injury and mortality

2 Cleaner mobility• Emissions of vehicles (electric, low emission alternatives) • Manufacturing footprint of industry (recycling, improved materials and components)

3 Reduced transport congestion (including urban freight transport and last mile)2017 : 1%EU GDP lost in road congestion• Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

4 Digitization of automotive industry• In vehicle connectivity and service providers• V2V, V2I, V2X

1 Photonic sensing

2 Efficient and affordable ADB for mainstream vehicles

3 Information projection and communication with light

4 Immersive interaction

Photonics PPP

1. Photonic sensing

11

• Progress towards “final” lidar technology• “Final” sensory configuration of the autonomous vehicle• All-weather performance• Industrialization aspects: packaging, scalability, cost, integration…• Advanced sensor fusion technologies: how does fusion affect sensor specs?

Example: LiDAR

12

• Eye safety solution (wavelength dependent)• Novel emission & detection components and systems• Novel beam steering components and systems• Self-diagnosis of system condition• Adverse environmental conditions (weather, dust, spraying, self-immunity)• Integration and packaging• Novel architectures • Additional functionalities• Cost and scalability

2. Affordable ADB for mainstream vehicles

13

• Cooperative lighting scheme with sensors improving capabilities (bad weather)• Link to V2X, IoT as enablers for headlamp• Sensors within headlights? Radar, lidar, cameras… • Affordable, industrialized units for mainstream required (link to road safety)• Warranty and repair costs to be analyzed within the sustainability perspective

Photonics PPP

3. Information projection and communication

14

• Cooperative communication between drivers/of drivers and other surrounding road users

• Effects of warning symbols and road guidance on other users? • LiFi as option of interaction between vehicles with high speed, short range

communication (repeaters-drones?- involved?)• Data emission from automotive lighting?

Example: Lighting

15

• Interior/Exterior• Communication/Connectivity by LiFi (security, range…)• Communication with pedestrians/other road users• Physiological effects of lighting (wellbeing/emotional occupant monitoring)• Cooperative lighting (camera+lighting+infrastructure+…)

Example ADB

Photonics PPP

4.Immersive interaction

16

• A new cockpit is required to• Cope with all the amount of information generated by the self-driving car• Display all the controls of the options and enable/disable option

• More immersive experience required• New HMIs for new uses, suitable for industrialization, conformability• Novel displays, conformal, holographic, larger, frameless required • Well integrated, reliable, low cost• Photonics and human factor specialists involvement required

Example: Advanced HMI

17

• Physiological effects of lighting in automated vehicles (HMI)• Image quality enhancement in automated mode• Reduction of volume (packaging)• Augmented reality solutions • Novel types of smart displays (transparent, conformable, 3D ex.holographic)• New strategies for virtual display • Multimodal interaction strategies (using photonics)• Functional coatings (windows/windshield/interfaces/sensors)
