To deliver the mobility experiences of the future, AFEELA employs an innovative E/E*1 architecture. AFEELA's E/E architecture connects the vehicle's ECUs*2 and sensors through an advanced network, maximizing overall vehicle performance. AFEELA emphasizes IVI*3 and AD/ADAS*4 experiences, incorporating Qualcomm Technologies'“Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™” SoC*5 to form its E/E architecture, utilizing multiple SoCs between IVI and AD/ADAS. The system prioritizes data access across domains and the new architecture is designed to centralize multiple functions, instead of having separate ECUs for each function. With this setup, external data captured by AD/ADAS sensors can be immediately transmitted to the IVI system for rendering as 3D graphics. Furthermore, the IVI system leverages the latest Unreal Engine to create a virtual space, enabling the flexible and innovative camera work it is known for. In 3D map development, we merged HERE Technologies' global map data and navigation application expertise, Epic Games' cinematic grade virtual space technology, and AFEELA's exceptional accessibility to vehicle data. Together, these elements deliver an experience full of reality. In the future, the platform for ADAS views and 3D maps will be made available to numerous creators and developers, fostering the creation of innovative experiences. The inclusion of multiple high-performance SoCs allows for ongoing enhancements to functionality via software updates over time.

Immersive interiors wrapped in bio and recycled materials.
The interior of AFEELA is unified with soft tones inspired by the beautiful
gradients found in nature. Reducing visual distractions heightens immersion, making
activities like movie viewing and music listening even more engaging and
enjoyable.
The materials used to envelop the vehicle's interior are selected
based on the concept of "Oval" with attention given to the areas passengers will
touch. High-quality materials are adopted, including plant-based and recycled
materials. This creates a comfortable cabin space, ensuring a pleasant tactile feel
and odor control. （Approximately 70% of the interior surface is made with these
materials.*6）
Recycled materials are also partially incorporated
into the body steel plate and the chassis. In collaboration with our partners, we
actively adopt the materials we have developed and examined together, aiming to
realize a circular economy and continuously create new value from a long-term
perspective.
We are committed to advancing a circular economy to help realize a sustainable world.

Ultrasuede®
Made with polyester partially derived from plant-based sources like sugarcane molasses, providing interior surfaces with a soft and luxurious feel.
-
ARTIFICIAL LEATHER
Durable areas are made with artificial leather, while the surface layer that passengers touch uses partially plant-based materials, such as sugarcane molasses and corn cob waste. The lining is partially made with chemical recycled polyester yarn from recovered textile products.
-
MESH TEXTILE
The textiles are equipped with deodorizing functions to enhance the comfort of the cabin environment by addressing odors. The base mesh textile is made with partially chemical recycled polyester yarn, derived from textile products collected within the factory.
