Philips and Renault show off a smart car and lighting concept

It's a car! It's a home! It's a wireless lighting control system! The latest in IoT illumination, on display at the Frankfurt Motor Show, of all places.

 

With cars and lights emerging as two of the most common connected “things” in the Internet of Things (IoT), Philips Lighting and Renault have teamed up to develop a combination concept car/smart home that treats a self-driving electric car as a stylish extra room that also serves as a lighting control center.

First, just to repeat for the sake of clarity: The Renault Symbioz is a concept car/room/thing. It's not necessarily something that the two companies really intend to market, although who knows for sure.

But it exists — it's on flashy display at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show running through Sept. 24 — and as such, it shows off the possibilities of combining automotive, smart lighting, and home design technologies.

“Parked in the smart home, Symbioz doubles as a snug, mobile, comfortable, and modular extra room,” the two companies said in a press release. “Its interior was inspired by the design of living rooms. As an elegant open or closed environment, 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. Its operating system is shown interacting with and controlling the smart home lighting.”
