In the era of smart cockpits, the design of ambient lighting is developing in a more intelligent, personalized and environmentally friendly direction. Today, we will discuss the intelligent design trend of ambient lighting.
Intelligent interactive ambient lighting can actively adjust the lighting effect in the car based on environmental conditions, driver preferences, vehicle status and other factors to improve driving experience, comfort and driving safety.
Intelligent interaction can sense the environmental conditions in the car through sensors, such as light intensity, vehicle speed, weather, etc., and automatically adjust the lighting effect. In addition, it can also be adjusted through mobile APP, voice commands or in-car panels to enhance user experience.
When the car door is opened, the ambient light flashes and dynamic images are projected to achieve a welcoming effect.
Linkage with navigation makes driving more interesting. For example, the Volkswagen ID.LIGHT intelligent interactive breathing light can provide drivers with traffic information, such as using blue running water light effects to remind the driver to turn.
The design of linked interactive ambient lights includes car-machine linkage (Lynk & Co 08), charging linkage, call linkage (after Lotus Eletre is charging and making calls, the ambient lights will show a surge state and flashing mode), voice linkage (Geely Galaxy ·L7: Open the "Voice Linkage" item in the ambient light setting options. At this time, if any passenger in the cockpit initiates a conversation with the voice assistant, the nearby ambient light will change color accordingly) and other designs to make driving more intelligent.
For example, in the nap mode of Lynk & Co 08, the fireflies in the car screen will "blink on and off" with the ambient lights to interact with each other, giving users a better sense of immersion.
The smart voice of Wenjie M7 can present different ambient lighting effects according to the smart voice status during voice conversations.
In the future, ambient lights will autonomously learn user preferences through AI and machine learning, and make more precise adjustments based on actual conditions. For example, when the driver starts the vehicle, the ambient lighting can automatically switch to driving mode.
multi-sensory interaction
Future systems may combine multiple sensory elements such as biometrics, sound, touch, and fragrance to create a richer and immersive driving experience, allowing drivers to feel all-round comfort and enjoyment.
Ambient lighting can be used in conjunction with facial monitoring and sensors that can automatically change the vehicle's color to alert the driver when it detects driver fatigue or dangerous conditions on the road.
The music rhythm mode of the ambient light can change according to the music rhythm and genre (such as rock, pop, classical, country, etc.), and can also be combined with the seat massage or fragrance system to create a relaxing driving atmosphere.
The ambient lighting can also be adjusted according to changes in air conditioning temperature to bring a new sensory experience.
Entertainment personalized interaction
Entertainment and personalization are definitely the major trends in the development of ambient lighting in the future. Drivers can customize lighting effects, including color, brightness, light effects and animation, according to their preferences and driving needs, thereby creating a unique driving atmosphere.
Ambient lights can be linked with entertainment (games, movie viewing, etc.) systems to provide more personalized services. For example, if we turn on the movie "Article 20", what should the accompanying ambient lighting look like? And when we play games, what does the ambient lighting look like?
The technology cockpit of Wenjie M7 can be linked with ambient lights to support KTV microphones, game controllers and other equipment.The intelligent atmosphere lighting system integrating the ROBO-01 concept can use AI intelligent algorithms to bring the most suitable interior atmosphere experience according to different interaction scenarios.
In addition, users can set their own animation effects and link them with other products to achieve safe and scene-based driving needs.
Future automotive ambient lighting designs will pay more attention to environmental protection and energy-saving performance. Use LED light source and intelligent energy-saving technology to reduce energy consumption and emissions while extending the service life of the ambient light.
Safety has always been the most important thing in all designs, and ambient lighting design is no exception. Some advanced automotive ambient lighting systems have automatic control functions. For example, when driving at night, the system can automatically reduce the brightness and change colors to provide a more comfortable driving experience.
When the vehicle approaches an obstacle or in an emergency, the ambient lights can flash or change color to attract the driver's attention. For example, the door opening warning function equipped by BYD, Wenjie, etc. can improve driving safety.
Intelligent ambient lighting can signal to the driver that the drive system is activated, the vehicle is unlocked or locked, and other functions.Smart·Elf #1 In the ambient light settings, users can choose to flash a reminder when the vehicle's cruising range is low to ensure safe cruising.
The active ambient lighting of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class can provide visual support for driving assistance and provide red ambient light prompts when turning or detecting danger to ensure safety. This design has also been implemented on the Volkswagen ID.LIGHT intelligent interactive breathing light.
In general,In the future, automotive ambient lighting design will be dedicated to creating a more intelligent, personalized and environmentally friendly driving experience, bringing drivers a more pleasant, safe and comfortable driving environment. With the continuous advancement and innovation of technology, we can expect that car ambient lighting design will show more surprises and possibilities in the future development.
