What Happened
Valeo and Infineon are collaborating on a short-distance ground projection module that integrates Infineon's 2D MEMS mirror and controller. The module, showcased at Auto China 2026, achieves superior brightness, contrast, and resolution for daytime use, while complying with eye safety regulations. The first-generation delivers bi-color output, with future plans for full-color capabilities.
“At Valeo, we are thrilled to announce our new collaboration with Infineon Technologies. Thanks to our joint development, our new ground projection module meets the demands of customers, in China and in Europe, for a more personalized experience, as well as the automotive industry’s stringent standards for quality, safety, reliability, and performance.”
The module enables V2X communication by projecting dynamic information like braking warnings or lane-change intentions directly onto the ground. This non-verbal, visually impactful communication system bridges the gap between digital V2X data and the physical environment, helping to reduce cognitive load for all road users. Additionally, it offers automakers a new layer of personalization through branded welcome and goodbye light signatures.
“Our collaboration with Valeo demonstrates how we go beyond a single device to deliver comprehensive, automotive-qualified solutions. By combining Infineon’s 2D MEMS technology with Valeo’s advanced ground projection module, we are proud to be shaping the future of mobility together.”
Why this matters
This module allows cars to communicate with pedestrians and drivers via ground projections, improving road safety and creating a new branding channel for automakers.
