Hyundai Mobis has succeeded in localizing its core technology for connected cars. Hyundai Mobis made an announcement on June 24 that it has developed Korea's first "communication function integrated management controller" that allows users to send and receive various car information in real time through telecommunication network with other cars or smart city infrastructure.
Communication function integrated management controller connects electronic control units (ECU) such as powertrain (power transmission system), multimedia, and braking system through wired communication and collects and analyzes various vehicle operation data in real time.
It can also handle large data such as data coming from various sensors such as cameras, radars, and information related to autonomous driving.
The controller also functions to communicate various information with the outside world through a permanent wireless network connection. It can implement various connected car services such as remote control of vehicles, automatic updates of various software, and 'e-call' that automatically sends accident information in case of emergency.
According to Hyundai Mobis, the more connected car technology develops, the more cars become "smart mobility devices." Automatic software wireless updates are fundamental to keeping the software up-to-date without the driver paying extra attention.
In addition to correcting software errors, new features and technologies can be applied to cars in real time. The ECU update also improves vehicle performance. In particular, Hyundai Mobis explained that in the case of electric vehicles, it can be expected to improve the overall cost (electric vehicle fuel economy) by improving the software of the battery management system (BMS), driving motor and regenerative braking system.
In addition, it can collect and accumulate data on various unexpected situations and steering information that occur during vehicle operation and use it to upgrade self-driving technologies.
Based on artificial intelligence (AI), it will be able to analyze real-time traffic information, inform drivers of the optimal route, and provide information on parking spaces at the destination.
