Hyundai Made a Mini EV for Kids & It’s the Cutest Thing You Will See Today
Nov. 8, 2020Apart fromventuring into futuristic flying-taxi projects, Hyundai has also beenworking pretty hard on electric vehiclesto prepare itself for an EV-dominated future. Now, the company is bringing its line of EVs for the…kids? Well, apparently yes. The company recently unveiled a brand new “toy” electric vehicle for kids to experience the future.
The Seoul-based automakers even made a special video to showcase this toy EV in all its glory. You can check it out right below.
So, as you can see in the video, the car looks super awesome and is designed to make any kid look like the coolest kid around the block (you’ll be the coolest in my block for sure if you have this one).
It Can Read Your Little One’s Facial Expressions
Digging into technical details,the car comes with two DC motors which deliver enough power to reach 4.3 mph (~7 kmph). There is only one seat, which is common for toy EVs and is in the middle of the car.
Also, to give the kids that feel of an actual EV, Hyundai integrated a few cameras and sensors into the front dashboard of the vehicle. Known as theEmotion Adaptive Vehicle Control (EAVC), this systemuses a driver-facing camera to capture the facial expressions of the driver and adjust the music and the lightingof the EV accordingly.
Moreover, the unnamed toy EV comes with the necessary sensors to measure the heart rate and respiration rate of the driver, for some unknown reasons.
Now, these kinds of toy EVs are not uncommon in the market. We have seen popular hyper car-makers, Buggati,come up with a mini EVearlier this year. And Tesla already sells aminiature version of its Model S for kids.
So, as more and more companies are venturing into the toy market for its EVs, Hyundai decided to capture a share of it while they can. However, the company did not reveal any date of launch or the price for the vehicle.
