[Exclusive] "Now You'll Want to Park Next to a Genesis"...Radar Technology to Completely Prevent 'Door Dings'

Genesis, the luxury brand of Hyundai Motor Company, will be introducing a technology that uses radar to prevent "door dings" (collisions when opening car doors) for the first time starting next year. By measuring the distance between the car and nearby objects, the system will stop the door from opening any further when it gets too close, thereby preventing scratches or injuries. According to the automotive industry on November 6, Hyundai Motor Company plans to equip Genesis models with a "Door Collision Avoidance Sensor." This sensor detects nearby walls, other vehicles, or passing pedestrians and controls the door so that it does not open beyond a certain angle. The Genesis vehicles equipped with the door ding prevention feature are scheduled to be released next year. The technology is expected to be applied as early as the "GV60 Magma," Genesis's first high-performance vehicle, which is set to debut on November 20 (local time) in Marseille, France.
