Currently there’s a great deal of public discussion about current and looming changes in the automotive industry with the arrival of electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and vehicle communication to other vehicles, drivers, road users and infrastructure.

The target of this DVN study is to comprehend the impact of this fast lighting evolution and enable the automotive lighting industry in their technological development plan, while providing guidance to practitioners, regulators, and communicators.
