Overview
- The companies claim up to 10-centimeter accuracy within 100 meters with 1–5 millisecond communication and over 99% detection in adverse conditions.
- Vision Pulse measures signal travel time between vehicle modules and smartphones, wearables, or other UWB devices to locate people and objects.
- Existing Hyundai and Kia models with Digital Key 2 already house UWB hardware, enabling trials without additional sensors.
- Hyundai and Kia are piloting the tech in industrial settings, with tests at Kia’s PBV Conversion Center under way since 2025 and Busan Port trials planned.
- The automakers position the approach as a lower-cost complement to some ADAS functions by reducing reliance on lidar and radar, with mass production still under evaluation.
