Hyundai recently spoke about the future of the automotive industry with a new concept dubbed 'metamobility.' Technology is ever-evolving and can take on anything from mundane tasks to vital operations in everyday life. It can be seen in Hyundai's Plug & Drive (PnD) modular platform that, according to the Reuters article, "combines intelligent steering, braking and suspension with in-wheel electric drive, cameras and lidar sensors for automated operation."
The concept of metamobility aims to further bridge the gap between humans and technology, ultimately improving quality of life. Imagine a car that doubles as a workspace or entertainment room, or a "smart" factory where robots and machines are controlled remotely. This can and will be achieved by the 'Mobility of Things ecosystem' that Hyundai has been building.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Metamobility
- The concept of metamobility aims to bridge the gap between humans and technology, creating cars that double as workspaces and entertainment areas, as well as a 'smart' factory with remote-controlled robots and machines.
- Plug & Drive (pnd) Modular Platform
- Hyundai's Plug & Drive (PnD) modular platform combines intelligent steering, braking and suspension with in-wheel electric drive, cameras and lidar sensors for automated operation.
- Mobility of Things Ecosystem
- Hyundai's Mobility of Things ecosystem is working to improve the quality of life by creating innovative technology that combines automated operation with intelligent systems.
Sectors Adopting This
- Automotive Manufacturing
- Automotive manufacturers can look at incorporating advanced technology to create a metamobility concept that improves the driving as well as overall experience of the consumer.
- Workplace Development
- Workplace development industries can look at creating innovative management systems that encompass remote-controlled robots and machines, creating an interactive and efficient workplace for both the employer and employees.
- Entertainment
- Entertainment industries can use Hyundai's and other similar technological innovations in the creation of 'smart' cars to develop more immersive experiences on-the-go.
