CTOnews.com, December 12 (Xinhua) in recent years, hidden pop-up handle design has become more and more popular in the automotive industry, which not only has a more technological sense, but also provides a more concise overall appearance and lower wind resistance coefficient, while Hyundai intends to design the door handle for remote control to make the spaced door a reality.

At its most recent open innovation hall, Hyundai Motor demonstrated a new concept of gesture-controlled doorknobs implemented by Somalytics's SomaCap sensor, a new capacitive sensor made of paper injected with carbon nanotubes that can detect human presence within 200mm and open the door with gesture control.

However, at present, Hyundai has not explained in detail the details of opening the door in an alternate space, including how the system determines the correct time to open the door, but foreign media speculate that it may be used with a key, or a combination of sensors and gesture control, showing a sci-fi movie like a sci-fi movie. the picture of approaching a car and opening the door to greet it.

CTOnews.com learned that Somalytics sensors have lower production costs, smaller sizes and less power consumption than traditional sensors. More importantly, it can be embedded in a wide range of materials, ranging in size from 1 mm to 11 mm. There are many applications of this technology, such as during the COVID-19 epidemic, passengers who travel in a shared car or taxi can ride without touching the doorknob, thus reducing the risk of spreading the virus through contact.

Hyundai is committed to innovation, so the doorknob is likely to be applied to production cars. Production of the new sensor is expected to begin in 2023, Somalytics said.
