The future of road safety has been bolstered by a new initiative from Renault that aims to collect and analyze unprecedented amounts of data on driver behavior. In partnership with PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault has established a Laboratory of Accidentology and Biomechanics (LAB) that investigates precisely why and how accidents occur – and proposes solutions to prevent their reoccurrence.

It features thousands of parts, brand new technology, has taken countless hours of design, engineering, construction and testing and now Nissan has revealed what is under the skin of the revolutionary prototype.

The Innovators, a 12-minute ‘short’ with a futuristic theme, celebrates the centenary of the birth of Charlie Chaplin and stars two suitably futuristic Renaults – Twizy and the Twin’Z concept.
