It is now a fact that the way of conceiving and using the car has changed profoundly. Not only as regards the ownership of the vehicle but also as regards the digital services connected to it. Hyundai he understood this and, as demonstrated in other situations, he developed a path so that the experience on board the cars of the brand but also of Kia and Genesis can adapt to the mobility of the future. With the digital event “Unlock the Software Age”the Korean giant presented the main innovations that will characterize its range from a technological point of view, starting with the internal development of the vehicle operating system (ccOS), capable of guaranteeing connected and continuously updated services.
The Connected Car Operating System it will guarantee the maximization of the hardware performances thanks to an extremely high computing power. To achieve this, Hyundai is working with NVIDIA to develop an optimized ccOS on NVIDIA Drive, a high-performance information processing semiconductor. In addition to data processing, however, the new software platform will make it possible to take important steps from the point of view of autonomous driving, allowing the Korean group to implement level 3 self-driving technologies in its large-scale vehicles and, in the future, for the marketing of autonomous driving levels of level 4 and 5. Hyundai then announced that it wants to facilitate and streamline production processes, not only by speeding up and integrating processes but also by introducing two new platforms for its electric, eM and eS, which will be built as part of the Group’s Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA) system.
There eM platform was developed specifically for electric vehicles in all segments and will provide a 50% improvement in driving range on a single charge compared to current electric vehicles. This platform is also under development to support Tier 3 or higher autonomous driving technology and OTA software update capabilities. The eS platform will be developed as an EV “skateboard” exclusively for i Purpose Built Vehicles (PBV)with a completely flexible structure to meet B2B requests and provide tailor-made solutions for companies operating in the delivery, logistics and car-hailing. An important step forward will also be taken to ensure the continuous updating of the cars on the road, implementing SOTA (Software Over-The-Air) updates on all ranges of the Korean group brands starting from 2023, not only for the models. electric batteries, but also to those with internal combustion engine. All of the Group’s vehicle segments sold worldwide will evolve to be software-defined by 2025. This will ensure constant updating and at the same time increase the residual value of the cars, always technologically in step with the times.
Hyundai will then look even further, aiming at mobility not only on the road but also at the different forms on which it has already taken important steps, such as the air one: the data of the connected cars will in fact connect with the Group’s future mobility solutions, such as Purpose Built Vehicles (PBV), Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), robotaxis and robots. With the creation of a new data platform, innovative services will be provided by linking and processing the various data generated throughout the life cycle of the car, as well as promoting the creation of an open ecosystem in collaboration with different sectors, including which logistics and accommodation facilities. In addition, Hyundai Motor Group will invest heavily to integrate hardware and software technologies, and improve and internalize the technological capabilities of mobility. By 2030, the Group plans to invest Won 18 trillion ($ 12.83 billion) in resources, including the creation of a new Global Software Center to strengthen its software capabilities and accelerate software development. Software Defined Vehicles.
