LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2018 – Hyundai Motor will highlight new technology concepts at CES 2018, all focused on connecting future technology with evolving mobility solutions, and share its latest achievements to advance its future mobility vision – clean, connected and freedom in mobility – announced a year ago.
Under the theme of “Connected to Future Mobility”, Hyundai presented its next-generation fuel-cell electric vehicle, a vision for hydrogen-powered life and an artificial intelligence-based personal cockpit concept at a press conference held on Jan. 8 in Las Vegas.
Hyundai Motor Company revealed the name of its newest fuel-cell SUV, the NEXO, and introduced a suite of advancements in autonomous driving capabilities all packaged in an eco-friendly powertrain as a testament to fulfill its ”Clean Mobility“ vision announced last year at the CES.
In addition, Hyundai showcased the “Hydrogen Life Vision” featuring home applications for hydrogen power that move sustainable transportation advancements into even more everyday uses.
Hyundai also unveiled its concept for how future vehicles will be controlled via the “Intelligent personal Cockpit” that voice-enables virtually every command. The concept showcases how the cockpit serves as a personal assistant and even checks the driver’s vital signs so the vehicle can take action if the driver is stressed.
“While it’s difficult for a single company to predict how all these latest changes may impact the future of our industry, we all understand that technological challenges and innovations are a never-ending process that will continue until we realize a mobile society of maximum convenience, zero accidents and no emissions,” Dr. Woong-chul Yang, Vice Chairman and the head of RD, said during the press conference.
As part of efforts to realize its vision of ‘Freedom in Mobility’, Hyundai today announced a strategic partnership with Aurora Innovation, a renowned autonomous-driving startup, to bring Level 4 autonomous driving Hyundai vehicles to market by 2021. The two parties have agreed to begin their pilot tests with the newest fuel-cell SUV, NEXO.
All of Hyundai’s latest advancements can be experienced at booth 6329 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center Jan. 9-12, 2018.
