How many automotive IoT solutions are installed in the Ioniq electric vehicle?

TI Korea announced the number of semiconductors installed in vehicles participating in the 'Eco-friendly car sharing service pilot project' conducted by JICA and participated by Hyundai Motor Group.

Hyundai Motor Company is collaborating in various fields under the direction of 'Project IONIQ', a strategy to strengthen future technology capabilities, and this project is the first result of joint development between Hyundai Motor Company and TI Korea over the past year and six months.

The system installed in the vehicle is a "connected car" concept that connects the mobile phone to the car via a wireless gateway ECU system. This system allows drivers to control certain in-car systems in advance based on personalized data stored in a mobile phone app before boarding, enhancing driver convenience. Designed for car sharing, where drivers constantly change, this technology allows users to adjust in-car systems like seats, heating/ventilation, outside mirrors, and windows according to preset settings before boarding.


It uses TI's Jacinto 5 Entry automotive infotainment processor and also features the CC2640 and CC2564, wireless MCU products that support Bluetooth. In addition, a total of 51 different analog semiconductors were used in connected cars.

Sang-Kyun Kang, Managing Director of TI Korea Automotive Semiconductor Business Unit, said, “This project is significant in that it demonstrates TI’s strong technological prowess and diverse solutions in automotive IoT-related semiconductors.”
