Hyundai Technology - Automotive Electronics
Vehicles of the future will feature diverse electronic systems befitting the information age and offer greater safety features than ever before.
Smart cars with infotainment systems will also offer the latest electronic technologies and equipment so that driving will be more comfortable and enjoyable as well as safer.
Expanded application of automotive electronics
A car embodies cutting-edge electric and electronic technology. While the ratio of costs for the electronics system parts of a car is currently 25%, this figure is expected to rise to 40% by 2015 in response to various legal requirements, next generation systems and customer demand.
Infotainment systems
The best known infotainment system today is telematics (telecommunications and informatics). Featuring a state-ofthe-art communication terminal with built-in GPS that is connected to various other electronic devices in the car, the system offers a wide range of useful information and data to promote safer driving. Hyundai·Kia Motors became the first company in Korea to offer an integrated telematics system (Mozen) to enhance driving pleasure and convenience.
ASV system is a key technology of our intelligent transportation systems (ITS) which integrate people, automobiles and roads to produce a smarter and safer driving experience.
DIS is a comprehensive information system that provides easy control of multimedia, navigation and telematics functions, in addition to the car’s air-conditioning and driving information which are displayed on the monitor.
SCC uses radar to help maintain a safe distance from other vehicles by calculating the speed of driving. The device helps prevents collisions with the car in front and is not affected by weather conditions such as fog or rain.
A separate motor attached to the headlamp is connected with the steering wheel. When the car goes around a corner at night time, the headlamps light up the section of the road ahead where the driver is looking, instead of straight ahead.
The high-tech lights also feature an auto-leveling sensor to automatically adjust the height of the light beam by calculating the number of passengers and weight of the car.
This futuristic technology places various useful information in front of the driver on the windshield using a 3D hologram
HMI is an interface that utilizes the interaction between man and machine for greater safety and convenience.
Going beyond the current button-type ignition, we are developing a smart-key system for the future using biometrics so that the car recognizes a driver's face, handprint or veins.
We are researching a car that features an automatic parking system, cruise control and sensors for maintaining a safe distance from other cars to prevent out of lane driving. Ultimately, our goal is to create a car that can assess the traffic situation and operate without any manipulation from the driver.
