AR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The stereoscopic image is displayed on the actual road.
Multi-collision airbag systems are de- signed to deploy even faster when initial safety systems may not be effective, pro- viding additional safety when drivers and passengers are most vulnerable. By recali- brating the collision intensity required for deployment, the airbag system responds more promptly during the secondary im- pact, thereby improving the safety of mul- ti-collision vehicle occupants.
REAR OCCUPANT ALERT
Hyundai’s rear occupant alert (ROA) door- logic system will be standard on most new models by 2022. The ROA system detects if a rear door was opened or closed before the car was started, then reminds the driver to check the rear seat. It will also make its
optional Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert, or a similar sensor-based system, avail- able on more of its models in the future. Every year in Australia, over 5,000 chil- dren are rescued after being left unat- tended in a car.
This system monitors the rear seats us- ing an ultrasonic sensor that helps to de- tect the movements of children. The sys- tem first reminds drivers to check the rear seats when exiting the vehicle with a message on the centre instrument cluster display. If the system detects movement in the rear seats after the driver leaves
the vehicle it will honk the horn, flash the lights and send a Blue Link alert to the driver’s smartphone via Hyundai’s Blue Link connected car system.
AR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Hyundai has also showcased the world’s first holographic augmented reality (AR) navigation system.
Yunseong Hwang, Director of Open In- novation Business Group from Hyundai Motor Group said: “Future mobility wind- shields will be more than just a piece of glass. AR holographic powered glass will serve as a platform to provide new services and open up new in-vehicle experiences.”
The biggest advantage of a holograph- ic AR navigation system is that the ste- reoscopic image is displayed on the ac- tual road and appropriately adjusted in accordance with the specific viewing angle of the driver, thereby delivering accurate driving guidance. The driver can enjoy vivid and precise holographic images without wearing a headset. The direction of movement is kept precise through the vehicle speed in real-time, and projecting navigational alerts through the windshield onto the road al- lows drivers to navigate safely while looking ahead undistracted.
Additionally, while conventional head-up display (HUD) units project a reflected image indirectly through an LCD screen mounted on the dashboard, the holographic AR display projects an image through the windshield.
WayRay’s display shows not only naviga- tional features — such as lane guidance, destination points, and current speed — in augmented reality, but also incorporates ADAS features like lane departure warn- ings and forward collision warnings.
ULTRASONIC SENSOR
Detects movement in the rear seats after the vehicle is parked and locked.
