In a joint effort for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication solutions for connected cars, Hyundai Mobis and Autotalks unveiled Hyundai Mobis' Multi-functional Telematics Control Unit (MTCU) connectivity modules.
According to the company, the MTCU Gen1, Hyundai Mobis' most advanced connectivity module to date, supports Day-1 V2X services in all geographies. Powered by Autotalks' V2X chipset, the MTCU Gen1 sets the standard for high-performance, globally compatible automotive V2X. Day-1 applications alert drivers in dangerous, non-line-of-sight situations, for example, to avert a possible collision with a vehicle or bicycle at an intersection. Additional applications include alerts about road hazards, a PR Newswire release dated August 28 said.
Significance: As the demand for V2X continues to grow, primarily by the global New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) roadmap, Hyundai Mobis selected Autotalks' third-generation chipset to power its next-generation connectivity module solution, MTCU Gen2. The module, expected to be available in 2024, will enable car manufacturers to offer advanced safety applications based on V2X communication.
MTCU Gen2 enables a range of use cases from basic Day-1 to advanced Day-2 V2X applications. This is achieved through its inherent support for the latest global V2X standards, dual-channel operation and the integration of functional safety-grade implementation, enabling car actuation based on V2X data.
