Case study: How Hyundai is ensuring product safety


Automobile accidents may cause a tremendous number of injuries and deaths, as well as material losses. It is thus imperative to develop safety technologies that can help to prevent these accidents and crash avoidance technologies that can limit damage.


Abstract


As one of the world’s leading global carmakers, Hyundai is focusing on the development of vehicle safety technology, to prevent car accidents and minimize injuries in an inevitable collision. After measuring and setting targets, Hyundai took action to introduce accident prevention technologies – for example, the emergency driver assist system can analyze the location and speed of vehicles in the vicinity, detect the possibility of a collision, identify the safest route which will help to avoid a collision and prompt the driver to maneuver the vehicle out of danger –, implement technologies that reduce injuries in a collision – such as pedestrian protection technology – and, also, conduct vehicle safety tests for improved safety.
