Hyundai Motor Group's FortyTwo Dot Unveiled at CES
Realizing Software-Centric Vehicle Vision with 'AI Machine'

Hyundai Motor Group unveils its future SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle) vision that autonomously learns the driver's driving habits, vehicle condition, and driving information to reflect in vehicle operation.


Hyundai Motor Group's global software center, FortyTwoDot, announced on the 22nd that it will showcase SDV strategies and new technologies under the theme of 'AI Machine' at the 2024 CES to be held next month in Las Vegas, USA.

SDV is a concept that shifts the core of vehicle operation from hardware to software. Like a smartphone, it maintains the vehicle in optimal condition through continuous software updates. It enhances not only consumer convenience but also the efficiency of vehicle development and mass production processes. Although the exterior remains the same, new functions can be added through software updates.


The vehicle development phase is shortened, and the number of required parts is reduced, cutting manufacturing costs by more than 20%. To prepare for the full-scale SDV era, FortyTwoDot advocates for the 'decoupling' of vehicle development. Whereas hardware (HW) was previously developed first and then software was added, now HW and software can be separated from the early stages of development.


FortyTwoDot mentioned 'AI Machine' technology as a concrete measure to realize Hyundai Motor Group's SDV transition. By utilizing AI Machine technology, the car autonomously handles the entire process from charging to driving and parking. The vehicle can perceive the entire process of movement and take necessary actions.



Song Changhyun, CEO of FortyTwoDot and head of Hyundai Motor Group's SDV division, said, "We want to provide freedom of mobility to more people and break down the constraints of time and space so that they can focus on more valuable activities," adding, "To achieve this, we will advance the technology and continuously create cars that improve user experience."
