Hyundai & Kia To Become Joint Regular To CES From Next Year

Both automakers Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corporation under Hyundai motor Group will be presenting themselves in the next year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The CES has become the central stage to showcase the latest automobile innovations amid blurry line between electronics and vehicle technologies.

According to Pulse News, the automakers Hyundai and Kia Motors will set up the showrooms side by side in the North hall of Las Vegas Convention World Trade Center (LVCC) at Consumer Electronics Show next year. Hyundai and Kia took a turn in attendance to the show since 2009, every year while Hyundai was present in this year’s event. These two carmakers will join their forces and become regular from next year on the show at the order of Chung Euisun who is the vice chair of Hyundai Motor Group.

The Consumer Electronics Show was originally a contest among automakers and suppliers who are taking up most of the space in the North Hall of LVCC over the last five or six years. Consumers Electronics Show is a headline-making stage for future cars and future car technology thanks to the rapid convergence of cars and Information and Communication Technology.

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Hyundai presented its self-driving car, Clean Technica reported. But this is far from what this carmaker has to offer to its fans and visitors to this year’s electronics show. Hyundai also presented their concept of how the connected car of the future might look, feel as well as a trio of self-powered exoskeletons to help people who have some kind of disability. But, one item that was generated the most buzz was very significantly smaller, the folding electric scooter which was designed to solve the last mile dilemma that the most commuters face.

Hyundai’s self-driving car can be able to drive on roads with traffic lights, road blocks as well as construction speed bumps and intersect with Stop and Yield signs. Hyundai said they are refining its self-driving technology with one goal of using less computing power which will result in a low-cost platform that the typical consumer can afford.
