Philips and Renault demo smart car-home interaction

The Renault Symbioz autonomous electric car is pitched as an extension of the home.

The vehicle’s on-board technology connects the passengers to other cars, people and technologies in the smart home such as Philips connected LED lighting.

“Parked in the smart home, Symbioz doubles as a snug extra room,” said Philips. “The car connects and interacts with all manner of devices and appliances in the home, making it an ideal space to work in or relax.”
