Starting with an open invitation, stories were sent in by people from all over the country, and HMG chose Daeho Lee, as Seoul's first ever, designated hearing-impaired taxi driver to showcase the driving assist technology. Mr. Lee, a hearing-impaired father of two children who recently began a new career as a taxi driver, had difficulties with hearing and had to rely mainly on his sight. Problems arose with other drivers on the road when he could not hear the horns or sirens of surrounding vehicles. Additionally, he needed to constantly rely on his vision, which caused fatigue at a rate many times that of the average driver. The campaign video, along with the technology itself, will emphasize the value of 'freedom of mobility,' demonstrating Hyundai's efforts to enable the hearing-impaired to drive freely and safely using state-of-the-art innovative developments. As part of its goal, Hyundai also developed an application that enables communication between passengers and drivers who are hearing-impaired. The entire process of the 'Quiet Taxi' was filmed in a documentary-style video that can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/yzgNQxYboBY Hyundai Motor Group reveals the 'Quiet Taxi', a video campaign featuring a new technology idea developed by the company's researchers.
