Hyundai Mobis has introduced advanced rear safety control technology designed to protect drivers from rear-end collisions by automatically adjusting vehicle speed when a following vehicle approaches too closely.
The system integrates rear-side radars, front cameras and driving control software to detect and respond to dangerous situations. When the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) function is active on highways and a rear vehicle closes to within approximately 10 meters, the system initially issues a warning through audible beeps or visual signals on the instrument cluster. If the unsafe distance persists, the vehicle autonomously accelerates to create a safer gap.
Rear-side radars mounted on both sides of the rear bumper detect the rear vehicle’s movement, while the front camera monitors lane positioning and the vehicle ahead to enable safe acceleration.
While some global automakers have implemented rear-end collision warning systems that tighten seatbelts in anticipation of impact, Hyundai Mobis’ technology advances beyond passive safety by enabling autonomous speed adjustments to actively prevent collisions.
The company is also developing additional features to enhance defensive driving capabilities. These include autonomous lane-changing functions to further avoid potential rear-end collisions in high-risk scenarios.
“We will actively protect the safety of mobility users by providing solutions that can intelligently handle not only front-end safety, but also dangerous situations caused by rear vehicles while driving,” said Jung Soo-kyung, executive vice president and head of the automotive electronics business unit.
