Hyundai Mobis Secures Four Core Technologies for Future Vehicles

Mass Production of Windshield HUD... Mastering All Core Infotainment Technologies

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Mobis is accelerating its preparation for the future car era through the development of core technologies. In particular, by mastering all major core technologies in infotainment, it is evaluated to be one step ahead in the competition in the future car market.

According to the automotive industry on the 8th, the four core technologies among current automotive infotainment components are ▲Head-Up Display (HUD) ▲Full Digital Cluster (Full D-Cluster) ▲Surround View Monitor (SVM) ▲Audio, Video, Navigation, Telematics (AVNT). Infotainment is a compound word of information and entertainment, referring to devices that not only deliver vehicle information to drivers and passengers but also provide entertainment elements such as music, videos, and games. Especially in the future car era, where the vehicle system takes the lead in vehicle control and the concept of driving disappears, the demand for entertainment and convenience devices for passengers inside the vehicle is expected to increase explosively.

Hyundai Mobis is one of the few companies that have secured all four core technologies. In February, Hyundai Mobis succeeded in mass-producing all four core technologies by applying the windshield HUD for the first time in the Genesis GV80. Based on this technological competitiveness, it is also promoting the development of an integrated infotainment platform that combines individual controllers into one.

HUD is a device that provides various driving-related information such as navigation guidance and vehicle speed information directly in front of the driver to prevent distraction. Its design is particularly challenging as it must consider optical elements. The 12-inch windshield HUD, which Hyundai Mobis mass-produced for the first time this time, expands the screen compared to existing products, allowing more information to be displayed.

Hyundai Mobis has established a full HUD lineup, including the general windshield HUD under 10 inches, the premium 12-inch windshield HUD applied to Genesis, and the combiner type, which displays information on a separate display device rather than the front glass, offering high versatility. Based on this technological competitiveness, Hyundai Mobis is intensifying sales activities targeting global automakers. Additionally, it has completed the preliminary development of augmented reality (AR) HUD, which overlays three-dimensional virtual information on actual roads, and is preparing for mass production.
