Hyundai Motor Group Produces Children's Electric Car Using EV Concept Car '45' Design

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Motor Group unveiled images and a production process video of a children's electric car made using the design of the EV concept car '45' on the 27th.

The newly revealed children's electric car incorporates the unique design elements of the concept car '45' as is. In particular, the 'Parametric Pixel' that forms the headlamps and taillamps of the children's electric car is one of the core design elements of the EV concept car '45', composed of geometrically shaped square dots, presenting a futuristic yet instantly recognizable strong presence.

For the safety of children, the sharp edges of the EV concept car '45' were softly rounded. The colors were also designed in pastel tones such as sky blue and orange, creating a soft and gentle atmosphere to be more familiar to children.

The children's electric car was created based on emotion recognition vehicle control technology being researched by Hyundai Motor Group's R&D headquarters. Emotion recognition vehicle control technology is a next-generation technology expected to be actively used in future mobility and autonomous vehicles, helping to ensure driver safety and psychological stability.

The emotion recognition technology applied to the children's electric car uses a camera mounted in front of the driver's seat to record the child's facial expressions and identify emotions. Additionally, the safety belt equipped with air pockets wraps around the body to help the child feel secure, and sensors attached to the belt measure heart rate and breathing.

Hyundai Motor Group plans to release additional videos through Hyundai Motor Group's YouTube channel in November.

A Hyundai Motor Group official stated, “The children's electric car developed this time by Hyundai Motor Group will be used not only as a toy for children to ride and enjoy but also as an opportunity to explore the possibilities of future mobility,” adding, “We plan to showcase through the video the potential of intelligent mobility services that realize Hyundai Motor Group's ultimate pursuit of ‘progress for humanity.’”
