Hyundai has offered a glimpse into its vision of mobility, which included specific autonomous car capabilities and connected car technologies, at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Hyundai's live demonstrations of its latest autonomous IONIQ concept vehicle from Jan. 5 to 8 feature integrated LiDAR technology, a laser and radar-based detection system that allows the car to navigate stop lights and signs, road construction, and dense pedestrian traffic. Hyundai is testing the technology in urban environments to fine-tune the technologies, according to the automaker.

The LiDAR technology of the autonomous IONIQ is also integrated with functions from the production model, including the smart cruise control forward-facing radar and the lane-keep-assist cameras. The system also uses a GPS antenna and high-definition mapping software that can help deliver precise accuracy for the location of the vehicle.
Hyundai presented its connected car features at CES, and presented its goal to create a platform that will help enable two-way communication both internally between the car’s system and externally with road infrastructure, other vehicles, and internet of Things (loT) devices.
Hyundai also unveiled its smart house technology that is designed to integrate connected car technologies into living and working spaces.
“Our Smart House concept fully integrates the car into the home, ultimately making the user’s life more comfortable and convenient. By seamlessly blending features from the car with home and work environments, the user experience is uninterrupted whether socializing, working at home, or on the move,” said Hak Su Ha, director of the Hyundai Design Center.
Hyundai also presented its Health + Mobility Concept, which offered the automaker's vision for vehicles that connect mobility and wellness. A virtual reality room at the tradeshow demonstrated how in-car conditions can be shifted to help manage stress and other physical issues related to commuting. The technology can monitor the driver via a series of sensors throughout the cockpit.
Fleet drivers face constant visual, cognitive, and environmental interruptions the moment they hit the road. From roadside chaos to mental fatigue and digital overload, today’s biggest driving risks often come from outside the vehicle itself.
FLASH Weather AI has launched a first-of-its-kind hail prediction model capable of forecasting hail size and arrival time at 1-kilometer resolution up to 55 minutes ahead, giving fleets and insurers critical time to prepare for severe storms.
As litigation risk rises, vehicles are increasingly targeted. This Coca-Cola bottler shares how it’s reducing exposure through driver training, technology, and a proactive risk management approach.
From identity management to third-party certifications, the right technology partner should make security easier to manage. Here are the three building blocks that fleet managers need to stay in control as connected systems scale.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
