South Korean car parts company Hyundai Mobis has unveiled M.VICS 5.0, the latest version of its integrated driver’s system.
First unveiled in 2021, Hyundai Mobis has updated the system – which features digital cockpit technologies and provides various driving information and media content while enabling external communication – every year.
The M.VICS 5.0, developed under the motto ‘All You Can See’, focuses on merging diverse display technologies. The design integrates the entire front panel from the left pillar of the driver’s seat to the right pillar of the passenger seat into a wide-screen cockpit. The system can adjust the size and angle of the display panel according to driving modes.
Panoramic multi-display adapted to driving situations
M.VICS 5.0 features five display panels: a 27in main screen for dashboard, navigation and media content; a 12.3in high-definition screen for passengers; a 7in screen for vehicle status information; and button controls. These panels are interconnected to create an open and spacious driver’s environment. Additionally, a projection display with touch and haptic feedback is included below the main screen for enhanced convenience.
Each display panel functions independently based on its purpose and use environment but can also integrate into a single screen when necessary, to create a ‘separate yet together’ experience.
The display panels feature a variable system that moves vertically and adjusts tilt, optimizing the screen’s size and position according to driving conditions. In ‘Drive Mode,’ part of the panel lowers below the dashboard, transforming into a smaller display. In ‘Theater Mode’ for media content or ‘Relax Mode’ for resting, the steering wheel lowers and the seat tilts, with the display’s tilt and size adjusted automatically.
Safety features
The large-screen display includes lighting technology on both sides to warn of potential rear-side collisions during boarding or alighting, with color scenarios designed to reduce motion sickness. Cameras mounted on the steering wheel and above the driver’s seat monitor real-time drowsiness and inattentive driving, issuing emergency warnings as necessary. Safety features such as steering wheel slim airbags, passenger roof airbags and knee airbags are also integrated.
Hyundai Mobis says it filed nine new patents related to parts, mechanical package design and UX technology during the development of M.VICS 5.0.
