AFEELA Co-Creation Program

Connecting diverse ideas and 
creativity to shape the future of 
mobility together.

AFEELA is an “open platform” that goes beyond the boundaries of a car, expanding the possibilities of mobility.
We aim to create a stage where users, creators, developers, and service providers come together to co-create new mobility experience through imaginative ideas.
Currently, we are running pilot projects with multiple creators and partner companies. Based on the insights gained from these initiatives, we will prepare development environments and documentation, and will release them step by step.

Beyond Mobility : Opening AFEELA as a Platform for Co-Creation

Jun Koketsu, General Manager of Product & Service Planning Division shares the vision and details of the AFEELA Co-Creation Program.

What you can create 
with AFEELA

e-Motor Sound

AFEELA leverages a feature called e-Motor Sound, which generates virtual engine sounds in real time based on acceleration, speed, and other data acquired from vehicle sensors to provide a distinct driving feel.
In the future, we aim to build an environment where sound designers and composers can create and distribute their own e-Motor Sounds, and AFEELA users can freely select sounds to match their mood or driving scene.

Ongoing Initiatives

We are preparing development documentation, design guidelines, and sample data that define the specifications for the creation of e-Motor Sounds.
In addition, we are exploring the development of a tool that simplifies the development of interactive sound design, even for those without specialized knowledge in sound creation.

Personalized Theme

AFEELA comes equipped with a Media Bar, Panoramic Screen, ambient lighting, and multiple displays & lighting devices that transform your experience inside and outside the vehicle.
We call these combinations of customization settings “Themes,” allowing you to change the look and feel of your car to match your mood or the moment.
Our vision is to turn AFEELA into a creative canvas where designers, artists, and creators can freely design and share themes, so users can personalize their vehicle just like changing the interior design of their room.

Ongoing Initiatives

We are preparing development documentation, design guidelines, and template assets for the creation of Themes.
For content displayed on the external Media Bar, we are also exploring tools that allow creators to self-check compliance with regulatory requirements by analyzing their content data, ensuring safety and legal adherence without limiting creativity.

Vehicle APIs/Cloud APIs

To make AFEELA a truly open platform for diverse innovation, we are building Vehicle APIs and Cloud APIs. These will enable developers to create in-vehicle applications and external services that integrate seamlessly with AFEELA.
Our goal is to create a secure, developer-friendly environment for developers with ideas to make AFEELA’s in-vehicle and connected experiences more enjoyable and convenient. Every step of the development process will be guided by strict attention to safety, legal compliance, privacy, and data governance.

Ongoing Initiatives

We are designing Vehicle APIs that allow in-vehicle applications to access various vehicle data, and Cloud APIs that enable remote access to AFEELA’s status and activity information.
To support developers, we are preparing comprehensive API documentation, along with a sandbox environment featuring sample data and test vehicles, making it easy to build and validate new ideas safely and securely.
