The photonics technologies are a source of increasing innovation for the automotive industry both for vehicle automation and the production life itself.

In the automotive industry, the photonics technologies are very important for the information management: sensors to detect all kinds of information of the environment, systems of communication between different devices both got for inside of the vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle, screens or projectors to display information to the driver and entertainment for the rest of occupants, and new systems of advanced and more sustainable lighting for the interior and for the exterior of the vehicle. On the other hand, the state-of-the-arth technology LIDAR is allowing the creation of unmanned autonomous vehicles that will stand as new revolution in the car industry.

Regarding the line of production, besides the sensing and the introduction of online optical communications to optimize the processes and to improve the quality control, it is of crucial importance everything the laser systems add in the manufacturing process regarding cutting, welding and material treatment procedures.

Undoubtedly, the vehicles of the future could not be explained without the influence of photonics.
