In the era of autonomous driving, drivers can have more time in the car without handling the steering wheel.
Everything you do inside the car becomes a part of your life. Seats become the closest company that understand, support, and interact with you. Seats react proactively to every possible movement in a car. At first, the passenger can enter their physical information to set desired functions. Seats then will learn these functions by proactively accepting and analyzing detailed personal information to propose things that the passengers did not notice. Spending longer hours inside the car leads to “safety and health, as well as happiness.” With the more time you will have as you get more comfortable, you will be able to focus on more valuable things.
HYUNDAI TRANSYS seat technology directly connects with people.
Autonomous
for human life
Designing car seats for autonomous vehicles means embracing future technology entirely. This includes numerous IT technologies such as artificial intelligence that analyzes, learns, and applies countless information on the passenger’s body, network connection that bridges inside and outside the vehicle, and smart devices that connect personalized information.
To predict and reflect future technologies for ideal functions, we need to face the present with clear mind and develop an insight for the future. How to guarantee safety when the driver is not looking ahead? How can the seat react when the driver takes the hands off from the driver’s seat? What kind of rapport should be established for both physical health and mental relaxation of the passengers?
How can we reflect the need of an independent space even when sharing the space? HYUNDAI TRANSYS puts communication with people first beyond simple and functional seat designs. HYUNDAI TRANSYS conducts research for better and more comfortable seats compared to the current mass-produced seats with unique know-how in design.
We provide the most ideal intelligent systems for the future mobility environment.
It provides convenience and safety to match the user’s physical, mental, and even emotional states.
In line with the connected vehicle environment, it offers a safe and comfortable driving experience using numerous personalized network information powered from both inside and outside of the car.
It provides comfort adapting passengers’ physical characteristics with future-oriented technologies such as artificial intelligence and customized independent sound space.
It considers different driving conditions and provides ultra-lightweight and ultra-high-strength frames, and integrated seat belts for better safety.
It provides an easy and convenient interface that allows users to perforHMI (Human-Machine Interface) various activities without any restrictions In the face of the future mobility environment where driving is no longer necessary.
In the age of autonomous driving, all information both inside and outside the vehicle will be connected with various network information technologies. The seat connects passengers with exterior information including road conditions and unexpected situations and interior information such as GPS, personal entertainment content information, and lighting functions reflecting the passenger's mood. By linking the vehicle driving information and the adjustment device on the side of the seat, cars automatically respond to turn around corners without the drivers’ handling. In addition, it is connected to respond quickly to external emergencies caused by lane departures or sudden obstacles. It acts as a communicator that connects not only body information but also emotions. Drivers can create a comfortable driving environment by connecting the seat air conditioning system with the seat smart device before boarding the vehicle. We research seats that can communicate with the emotions of passengers based on guaranteed safety.
In the age of autonomous driving, people will spend much more time in a car, and the platform for car-share will emerge as the key trend. Apart from the basic sitting posture that matches individual physical attributes, it must be sensitive and proactive to adjust to numerous body shapes and postures. The seat will automatically search and provide the best position for the passenger. For shared vehicles, seats will be designed to maximize comfort as an individual space even when sharing spaces with others. We study the optimal seat condition regarding weathers and care the health of passengers with the implementation of future-oriented technologies such as artificial intelligence.
In an autonomous driving environment, the interior of the car may be limited but still guarantees the maximum freedom of movement within the given space. Regarding that the existing seat systems provides limited functions in its fixed position, the systems simply focused on high rigidity mechanism and static safety design. In the future, seats will be connected via networks to perform various personalized service functions. Multi-functional mechanisms and dynamic safety designs for better movement will be the key.
In autonomous driving, seat functions expand to the concept of residence. The built-in seat belt frame increases the residential functions and ensures safety when moving the seat.
The extended seat adjustment function offers better use of space for passengers free from handling. Currently, we are developing seat frames that contain the features to adjust and rotate the front, back, left, and right of the seat.
In the era of autonomous driving, it is important to provide efficient in-vehicle space and time usage and personalized functions for more convenience to passengers free from handling.Intuitive HMI is essential to receive information and easily meet personalized needs for various driving situations. In addition, HYUNDAI TRANSYS conducts researches on adjustment technologies for having and keeping better views within the vehicle.
The control armrest module is integrated into the seat for improved indoor space utilization. We are studying moving mechanisms that can be operated in various modes such as general driving mode, rest mode during autonomous driving, and seat rotation for communication mode. We are studying control modes that will be convenient and minimizes any distraction elements for the passengers to substitute for the console.
It is a simple and intuitive Touch Interaction Switching Module considering the user's point of view for the better use of necessary functions. It can be applied to a variety of surfaces and shapes and also allows proper interactions with the user. Features such as LED lighting and vibration haptics show that such interaction with the users is possible.
