The vehicle has technology based on artificial intelligence that optimizes the environment based on information from both the interior and exterior of the car.

The manufacturer Hyundai presented an innovative mini vehicle developed to support patients in a children's hospital in Barcelona, Spain. The car was based on the "45 Concept" prototype that the South Korean manufacturer exhibited a while ago. The small electric car is equipped with Emotion Adaptive Vehicle Control (EAVC) technology, a system that monitors facial expressions, heart rate and respiratory rate, and combines these readings with information from the vehicle, including speed, acceleration, noise and vibration.

 

 

Once this step is done, the technology processes the data using machine learning to optimize the vehicle environment and actively control vehicle systems such as lighting, weather, music, and the fragrance dispenser. Hyundai donated this one-of-a-kind electric vehicle to the SJD hospital in Barcelona, where it will be used to support the mobility of young patients from the hospital bed to the treatment room, which is considered one of the most stressful trips for children. "We want our technology to help improve the lives of our customers in various mobility spaces beyond the highways," said Jinmo Lee, Hyundai Motor's senior research engineer who led the project. "We hope that the EAVC technology in the minicar will provide a fun and safe mobility experience for young patients and help improve their health outcomes."
