Nicolas Paris, CEO of Renault Korea, said at a recent press conference, “We will accelerate the transition from software-defined vehicles (SDV) to artificial-intelligence-defined vehicles (AIDV).” He presented a blueprint to transform vehicles from mere means of transportation into “intelligent companions” by leveraging Level 2 autonomous driving—driving with driver supervision in both urban areas and on highways—and next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
To turn this vision into reality, Renault Korea has set a policy of collaborating with Korean AI companies that possess advanced technological capabilities. Renault Korea recently worked with SK Telecom to install the in-vehicle AI agent “A.Dot Auto” in its sport utility vehicle (SUV) “Filante.” A.Dot Auto does more than simply respond to or search upon voice commands; it comprehensively recognizes and analyzes the driver’s driving patterns and driving environment. For example, it links with a smartphone to analyze call content and then automatically suggests destinations, or recommends activating the air purification function instead of opening the windows on days with severe fine dust.
In addition, A.Dot Auto enables voice-only control of the car’s infotainment system. Renault Korea explained that drivers can operate all functions such as setting navigation destinations, connecting calls, and accessing news without taking their hands off the steering wheel.
The vehicle status notification application (app) “Tips” applied to the Filante is also powered by AI. Based on ChatGPT, it is a system that resolves questions that arise while using the car through conversational interaction with the driver.
This collaboration policy of Renault Korea is being recognized as a best practice by Renault’s headquarters in France. François Provot, Chairman of Renault Group, who recently visited Korea, gave high marks for the company’s technological capabilities, saying, “Renault Korea has a strong advantage in internalizing diverse technologies.” Renault Korea stated, “Just as we applied innovative AI technology to the Filante through collaboration, we will continue to strive to introduce a wide range of advanced technologies based on a horizontal cooperation structure in the future.”
