As autonomous-driving capabilities develop, the vehicle interior will evolve to focus more on comfort, information, and communication. As a result, in-vehicle ambient lighting is becoming much more than just lighting and decoration.

Today’s lighting systems are expected to be a customizable and adaptable part of smart cockpit applications to enhance the driver experience. And they must maintain precise color accuracy, thermal stability, and communication robustness over several years of continuous operation. Dynamic ambient lighting options could display relevant information to the driver, such as incoming calls or notifications from navigation or advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
