While the motoring world continues to wait on Hyundai’s electric SUV to hit the road, families will need not wait on a special child-friendly miniature version.
The tiny car has no official name, but Hyundai has included a bit of mind-reading technology that should keep kids entertained (or at least quiet) for long periods of time.
The toy car is meant for young children, and goes just shy of 7 kilometers per hour. It also includes what Hyundai is calling Emotion Adaptive Vehicle Control – a special technology that will read your child’s mood via facial expression, and then automatically adjust music and lighting features to keep him happy.
The technology is purportedly going to be used in future Hyundai cars (this time for adults) to monitor driver’s vital signs, including heart rate and respiration.
The full size version of the vehicle was announced at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.
No release date of price has been disclosed of the actual model, but the child-friendly model should be available in time for the gift-giving season.
