The company implemented the MPA feature that learns the driving route and performs parking using ultrasonic sensors and SVM cameras

Hyundai Mobis announced the new MPS 1.0P (Premium), an improved version of the next-generation parking control system (MPS: Mobis Parking System), according to a press release on September 19.

A standout feature of this technology is the memory parking assist (MPA) feature. When a driver executes parking in the path-learning mode, the vehicle learns this process itself, allowing for autonomous parking with just a single touch by the driver.

The essence of this parking technology is the fusion of video-based sensors, merging ultrasonic sensors and surround-view monitor (SVM) cameras. Advanced technology that simultaneously measures vehicle location and maps using information obtained was also applied. By implementing such techniques originating from robotics, the company achieved driving assistance features supporting up to a 100-meter storage distance.

Significance: The company said that this technology is expected to be well-received in countries such as Europe and China, where designated parking areas or private garages are relatively common. Parking stress is eliminated as remote parking in the same location is possible based on the previously learned driving path.  

Notably, Hyundai Mobis' next-generation parking control system, developed without expensive radar or lidar sensors and solely with ultrasonic sensors and SVM cameras, holds advantages in both technological perfection and cost. Hence, rapid popularization in regular vehicles and global orders is anticipated.

Another core technology of the system, the remote smart parking assist (RSPA) feature, has also been upgraded. The existing RSPA, already applied to several production cars, recognizes parking spaces through ultrasonic sensors and supports both perpendicular and parallel parking with a button without the need for the driver to steer. Yet, the presence of a vehicle nearby is necessary for the ultrasonic sensors to detect.

Through video-based sensor fusion, Hyundai Mobis added a parking line recognition feature to the RSPA 2 version. It supports autonomous parking even in an empty parking space without surrounding vehicles, recognizing the parking lines. This technology was first unveiled to the public when installed in Kia's recently launched electric vehicle, the sport utility vehicle (SUV) EV9 as well as the G90, GV60 and Ioniq 6.
