Founded in 1923, Valeo is a heavyweight of the automobile and mobility sector. The multinational company, which celebrates its centenary this year, doesn’t lack ambition. Valeo knows how to reinvent itself by riding the wave of the rise of new technologies that emerge each decade, including virtual reality<\/a> and the metaverse. How are those technologies used by Valeo? Let’s find out with Bruno Albesa and Julien Moizard, both Directors of Research & Innovation at Valeo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valeo, leader of innovation in the automobile sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Historically, Valeo<\/a> is an automobile supplier. The company established itself in the 2000s as the “<\/span>world leader in ultrasonic sensor parking assistance systems<\/span><\/i>”. At the same time, Valeo opened its <\/span>first R&D center<\/b>, clearly announcing its ambition for technological innovation. In 2021, Valeo invested 1.5 billion euros in research and development.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Valeo is interested in new technologies, in particular virtual reality. “<\/span>This technology is interesting for several applications, for example visualization of automobile parts before they’re built or as a <\/span><\/i>development assistance and acceleration tool<\/i><\/b>”, explains Bruno Albesa, Director of Research and Innovation at Valeo. The company already thinks about a third approach: use those technologies inside the car.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The major trend in mobility of the future is to have human-machine interfaces as intuitive as possible, that adapt to the inside and outside context of the car. The goal is to have the right information, at the right time, in the right place for the drive.<\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/p>Julien Moizard – Director of Research & Innovation Projects at Valeo<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
