Hyundai Motor will partner with American tech giant Cisco Systems to develop Internet-connected car technology. Hyundai Motor vice chairman Chung Eui-sun met with Cisco Systems CEO Chuck Robbins in Seoul on April 19 and the two agreed to co-develop in-vehicle networking solutions, the key to Internet-connected car technology.
Chairman Chung said: “Connected cars that will connect and expand time and space will create new values that we have never experienced before. Our collaboration with Cisco will help us usher in a new paradigm of mobility at an early date.”
Robbins said, “Technological innovation through the partnership with Hyundai Motor will lead to new user experiences and digital disruption in the auto industry.”
The world's fifth-largest automaker plans to develop a ‘super-connected,’ intelligent car. In other words, the automaker is pushing to develop "high-performing computers on wheels,” envisioning better in-vehicle data transmission, vehicle-to-vehicle connections, vehicle-to-home connections and vehicle-to-office and even vehicle-to-city connections.
To that end, Hyundai Motor and Cisco will build an in-vehicle high-speed communication network to control in-vehicle data transmission.
