CES 2017: Hyundai Envisions Cars Connected To Homes With Mobility Vision

The Mobility Vision concept study quite literally drops the wall separating a home and a car. It explores how an autonomous car can be integrated into the smart home of the future. The working brief Hyundai says, is to "blur the line between mobility and living and working space, integrating the car into the daily lives of users."

Hyundai's concept docks to your home and the driver's seat pivots out and into the living room, replacing a chair or a sofa. Similarly, it pivots back to the car in the passenger space, should the owner have to be driven around. The car can also act as air conditioner or emergency generator for the home and will connect with the home's screens and speakers.

Needless to say, the Hyundai Mobility Vision concept explores the possibilities of autonomous vehicles further while offering the world to you with a host connectivity options onboard. In addition, the Hyundai emissions-free car also comes with the new Ioniq electric scooter that is integrated into the door. You just pull out the Ioniq scooter and ride it to the last leg of your journey, thereby ensuring last mile connectivity.

The scooter automatically charges when it's stowed away, and has built-in lights for safety. There's a sensor that prevents the Ioniq Scooter from accelerating until the rider is safely seated. The scooter controls work similar to the that of a video game with a thumb pad to accelerate and brake.

You may call Hyundai Mobility Vision concept straight of science fiction, but it certainly gives a glimpse at how the inter-connected lives of the future will look like. For the couch potatoes out there, the concept is certainly going to be a pleasing one.
