Beijing time, December 28, according to foreign media reports, South Korean Hyundai Motor Company is developing a new technology, the driver can open the door and start the car through a smartphone. Hyundai expects this new mobile phone control system to enter the market in 2015.

Nowadays, the functions of smartphones are increasing, and they have the potential to replace everything in your pocket. In the near future, car keys will also be replaced by smartphones. South Korean Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. is developing this new technology. As long as an NFC (Near Field Communication Technology) chip is embedded, the smartphone can open the car lock and start the engine.

Recently, Hyundai displayed the Elantra equipped with NFC technology at the "Connectivity Concept" exhibition in Frankfurt. This idea is actually very simple, that is, using a smartphone to control everything without using a car key.

According to Hyundai, the driver can unlock the car lock with just a glance on the smartphone. Just put the mobile phone in the position of the console in the car to start the car.

Allan Rushforth, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Hyundai Motors Europe, said: With this technology, Hyundai Motors can integrate current smartphone technology into daily driving, Achieve seamless integration.

But unlocking and starting a car are only part of many modern connectivity solutions. Because the entire system needs to recognize different smartphones and personalize the in-car experience to meet the various needs of users, including the settings of seats, rear-view mirrors and in-vehicle entertainment information.

Once placed in the console position, the smartphone can be linked to the 7-inch display in the car. Modern cars use the MirrorLink of the Car ConnecTIvity ConsorTIum, which can automatically import contacts and navigate destinations.

Although many car manufacturers are using MirrorLink, few manufacturers can produce MirrorLink. This is mainly because the driver needs to focus on the driving process, and a program needs to be integrated on the screen after the introduction, and the user interface should be designed to not distract the driver as much as possible. This is a problem that MirrorLink must solve before it can achieve rapid development.

South Korea's Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. is working with Broadcom of the United States on the connectivity of smartphones in cars. The two parties intend to introduce the technology of the perfect fusion of NFC and MirrorLink in the next generation of products. According to Korea Hyundai, the system is expected to enter the market in 2015.
