Hyundai's strategy for EVs, connected cars, and open innovation has been designed to fulfill the company's future mobility vision. The vehicles can be customized according to the customer's needs. The vehicles can adapt to any environment.

Hyundai is going to leverage data generated from smart vehicles to launch an open ecosystem that enables a host of ICT subsystems to create a structural flow of public data transmission between vehicles and the environment in which the vehicles operate. This is expected to facilitate the adoption of connected cars.

Hyundai is also expanding in AI technology through the establishment of dedicated research centers and strategic partnership with global companies. Hyundai Motor Group's AI Research Lab (AIR Lab) located in Korea and an AI Research Center (AIR Center) in the U.S. are both dedicated organizations for AI research and development.

The AI Research Lab and Center focus on AI-related research in computer vision and machine learning; both essential elements for further development in autonomous vehicles and robotics technology.

Hyundai believes that personalized vehicles are not a luxury but a necessity. Therefore, the company aims to personalize the vehicle space for every customer. Through this concept, customers have the freedom to select initial software as well as hardware of their vehicles and equip upgrades according to their specific needs.

By collecting zettabytes of data (ZB is a unit of measurement for supercomputers), Hyundai is able to enhance the driving experience and ensure the safety of customers by providing real-time alerts of road conditions and also weather updates. The company's connected car technology will allow external connectivity for customers in the future.

Hyundai expects to have 10 million active connectivity users and apply connected car technology to all vehicle segments in the global market by 2022.
