Hyundai Mobis unveils new rear-collision avoidance system
Hyundai Mobis Company, the main automotive components unit of South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group, unveiled a new driver assist feature that helps improve highway safety. The company announced that it has developed a rear safety control system that warns drivers when a vehicle approaches too closely from the rear and automatically increases the vehicle's speed to maintain a safe distance and avoid a collision. The system integrates sensors such as rear-side radars and front cameras with driving control technologies. It operates when the driver uses the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) function on a highway. If the vehicle detects that a vehicle is driving too closely behind, at a distance of ten meters or less, it first emits a sound or displays a visual warning on the instrument cluster. If the situation continues, the vehicle automatically increases its speed to maintain a safe distance. Rear side radars, which are mounted on both sides of the rear bumper, detect the movement of the vehicle behind, while the front camera recognizes the lane and the vehicle ahead to assist in safe acceleration. Hyundai Mobis said that a number of global automakers already have collision warning systems in mass production, including systems that automatically adjust seatbelt tension in preparation for a possible collision. But the company pointed out that these systems 'are not yet advanced enough for the vehicle to control itself autonomously. Hyundai Mobis said that it plans to 'further expand the scope of autonomous control for defensive driving against rear vehicles.' The company confirmed it is currently developing a lane-changing function 'to escape dangerous situations,' in addition to an acceleration control function that allows the vehicle to speed up on its own. Jung Soo-kyung, head of Hyundai Mobis' automotive electronics business unit, said in a statement: '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.'

Hyundai Mobis Unveils New Safety Technology to Prevent Rear-end Collisions
SEOUL, South Korea, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While driving on the highways, you may feel threatened by quickly approaching vehicles from behind. Rear-end collisions may also occur due to the negligence or drowsiness of the driver of the rear vehicle. Fortunately, however, defensive driving technology that predicts the movements of rear vehicles is becoming available. Active control technology, which uses sensors to detect approaching vehicles from behind and maneuver the vehicle out of danger, is expected to hit the market soon. Hyundai Mobis announced on 11 that it has developed rear safety control technology that warns drivers and automatically maintains a safe distance when a rear vehicle approaches too closely. This technology integrates sensors such as rear-side radars and front cameras with driving control technology. This technology operates when the driver uses the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) function on the highway. If the vehicle detects that a rear vehicle is driving at an extremely close distance of approximately 10 meters or less, it first emits a "beep" sound or displays a visual warning on the cluster. If the situation persists after a certain amount of time, the vehicle will automatically increase its speed to maintain a safe distance. During this time, the rear side radars, which are mounted on both sides of the rear bumper detect the movement of the vehicle behind. Meanwhile, the front camera recognizes the lane and the vehicle ahead on the driving path to assist in safe acceleration. Some global automakers are already applying safety technology to prevent rear-end collisions in mass production. When a rear-end collision is imminent, the system issues a warning and adjusts the seatbelts tension in prepare for the impact. However, these functions are not yet advanced enough for the vehicle to control itself autonomously. Hyundai Mobis has now enhanced its technology to enable the vehicles to independently adjust the distance between the front and rear vehicles and avoid dangerous situations. Hyundai Mobis plans to further expand the scope of autonomous control for defensive driving against rear vehicles. Currently, the company is developing a lane-changing function to escape dangerous situations, in addition to an acceleration control function that allows the vehicle to speed up on its own. "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. About Hyundai Mobis Hyundai Mobis is the global no. 6 automotive supplier, headquartered in Seoul, Korea. Hyundai Mobis has outstanding expertise in sensors, sensor fusion in ECUs and software development for safety control. The company's products also include various components for electrification, brakes, chassis and suspension, steering, airbags, lighting, and automotive electronics.
