Hyundai Mobion makes its debut at CES and surprises with all its innovations

The CES in Las Vegas is still underway, and we are seeing a lot of technology applied to the automotive industry. One of the prototypes shown at this event is not intended for mass production, but it features a large amount of technology that will be present in Hyundai models. Other elements it features are simply there to demonstrate that they could use them if they wanted to.

That car is the Hyundai Mobion, a concept car announced by the Korean brand that we have finally been able to see in detail. To build it, the Korean brand turned to the Ioniq 5, one of its most recent models. The technology on board this concept lets it use a lighting system to warn other vehicles about traffic conditions.

These lights can be used to warn vehicles driving behind that pedestrians are crossing ahead, for example. The lighting on the floor can indicate the direction the vehicle is heading, with the ability to project in any direction. Another feature of this lighting set is that it can project lines resembling a pedestrian crossing to show people where to cross the street.

But this feature is only one of the standout elements of this model. What is truly important is the e-Corner system, a technology that is certainly quite innovative and, if it can be implemented in Hyundai models, quite functional.

This system gives each wheel independence from the rest. It has not been specified what it is made of, but each wheel has its own suspension, brakes and motor. In addition, it allows the wheels to turn at very extreme angles, so it can even move diagonally and even sideways.

The wheel configuration can also offer the possibility of performing a full 360º turn. To carry out these maneuvers safely, the car has been equipped with two short-range LiDAR sensors, located near the headlights. Another, for longer range, is placed in the front fascia.

With these additional sensors nearby objects can be detected and sideways maneuvers can be performed more safely. As we have mentioned, this car will not have a production version, but all this technology will appear in future Hyundai models, which will incorporate it in the near future.
