# Futuristic Meta Automotive Concepts Hyundai's Mobility of Things to Transforms the Concept of Cars By Caitlyn Fernandez | Published 2022-01-11 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamobility References: [reuters](https://www.reuters.com/technology/beyond-cars-hyundai-says-metamobility-will-link-real-virtual-worlds-future-2022-01-04/) & [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/robotics/hyundai-plug-and-drive-platform/)  [Hyundai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-module) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s1200) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobed). This can and will be achieved by the 'Mobility of Things ecosystem' that Hyundai has been building.
