South
Korean carmaker Hyundai on Friday
revealed their ”Connected Car concept” that uses NFC technology to allow users to
open and close doors with their phone.
The
system allows the driver to lock and unlock the car with an NFC-enabled smartphone and then, once
inside, dock the device to activate the car’s telematic systems and to upload
the driver’s personal profile — such as seat position, favorite radio stations,
satellite navigation history and climate control settings.
The
profile information is streamed to the vehicle’s 7-inch touch screen which also
mirrors the smartphone’s content so that the driver has hands-free access to
their contacts and
address book.
Allan
Rushforth, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Hyundai Motor Europe, said:
“Hyundai’s Connectivity Concept showcases the brand’s philosophy of making
tomorrow’s technology accessible to a wide range of customers.
With
this technology, Hyundai
is able to harness the all-in-one functionality of existing smartphone technology and integrating
it into everyday driving in a seamless fashion.
As the technology continually
develops there will be capabilities
to store driver’s seating positions and exterior mirror settings, providing
customers with a comfortable and individual driving environment.”
