Using the spectrum of sensors in the car and the MDGo technology, Hyundai will be able to send emergency services a wealth of data like injury level information and safety system activation. This will enable emergency services to assess the required scale of response and deploy appropriately skilled medical personnel before arriving at the scene of an accident.

The new partnership will also help Hyundai to enhance the active and passive safety capabilities of its vehicles. Big data gathered from detailed, intelligent analysis of multiple accident scenarios will inform Hyundai on how to bolster crash structures and integrate new technologies to overcome issues identified by the AI analysis.
