Front/Rear Phygital Shields
Front/Rear Phygital Shields
The front or rear phygital shield combines sensors and lighting, safeguarding aesthetics and safety. It guards delicate technologies like parking aids and adaptive cruise control, and their function in adverse weather, and is vital for autonomous driving. As an all-in-one system, it integrates radars, lidars, cameras, and lighting.

Dynamic lighting with FlatLight I µMX
Dynamic lighting with FlatLight I µMX
Flat, efficient and scalable: HELLA’s FlatLight | μMX is all about a slim design, maximum energy efficiency and superior homogeneity and performance. The technology is based on an innovative LED light guide concept with socalled micro-optics: optics smaller than a grain of salt. This enables a module depth of just 5 millimetres - and completely new design options for the front and rear, as different lighting functions can be realized in just one lighting element. Another plus: it has up to 80 percent lower energy consumption compared to conventional LED tail lights.

HD lighting with SSL technology
HD lighting with SSL technology
Revolutionizing vehicle lighting, our SSL | HD technology marks a leap in LED matrix evolution, combining high light output with multifunctionality in a compact design. Our Micro-LED Clusters, featuring up to 25,000 pixels, enable precise control, such as dimming for oncoming cars, highlighting road signs, and potential safety projections, like illuminating pedestrians and cyclists for enhanced visibility and safety.

Traffic Rules Engine
Traffic Rules Engine
Highly automated vehicles (Level 3+) can handle driving scenarios without human intervention. To do so, they must always know and manage the applicable traffic regulations. FORVIA HELLA developed the Traffic Rules Engine to meet this need. Like a virtual co-driver, this software continuously monitors planned actions of the car and compares them with the current traffic rules based on sensor and map data. The Traffic Rules Engine ensures the use of the latest and locally applicable traffic regulations at all times, and will be certified and used by TÜV Rheinland to homologate cars in a virtual environment.

See through your vehicle with eMirror Safe UX
See through your vehicle with eMirror Safe UX
Winner of a CES 2024 Innovation Award and certified for both EU and Chinese standards (FORVIA was the first to get certification for an eMirror in China), the latest generation of our eMirror Safe UX software platform helps drivers better see their environment by replacing side and rearview mirrors with a camera-based system to provide better visibility, safety alerts, and fuel/energy efficiency. Transparent View, Reactive Dimming, and Advanced Image Processing are software features expanding the driver’s field of view and improving visibility in challenging environments.

Smart Car Access System
Smart Car Access System
FORVIA HELLA continuously develops further software functions for its UWB2-based Smart Car Access System. With Smart Presence Detection, vehicle safety is brought to a new level by alerting drivers in the case of intrusions as well as occupancy detection. For childpresence detection, our algorithms can detect even the slightest chest movements of a baby or animal under a blanket. In case of a risk, a notification is immediately sent to the linked mobile phone. The kick sensor for trunk opening and closing eliminates the need for an additional conventional system, while providing extra comfort.

Activating interior surfaces with Light Tile Technology
Activating interior surfaces with Light Tile Technology
FORVIA is innovating to “activate” the car interior for the purposes of safety or aesthetics, converging the physical and digital to create a phygital cockpit. An example is our Light Tile Technology, which won a CES 2024 Innovation Award. A transparent light tile is perfectly integrated into the upper door panel, providing a high-quality display of the outside vehicle environment to detect potential risks. In addition to serving as an ADAS, the tile technology can be used for dynamic ambient surface lighting to produce a unique onboard atmosphere.
