Living processes are exciting research topics for car manufacturers in their perpetual quest for the innovations that will produce more ergonomic, safer and, most importantly, cleaner vehicles. Animals are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Entomologists research allows us to envisage a future where, thanks to the abilities of certain insects, we will drive in vehicles that are self-cleaning or have a more efficient anti-collision device. And maybe one day the interactions between the autonomous vehicles of the future will imitate the behaviour of shoals of fish.

Jérôme Perrin, the Renault s Scientific Director, explains how the French automotive group is innovating thanks to the living world.
