Hyundai Motor Co. said Tuesday that it is exploring the use of drones and checking the feasibility of making "transformer-like" cars under a research and development program (R&D) to better meet the demands of the future.
At this year's R&D IDEA Festival at Hyundai's Namyang R&D Center south of Seoul, South Korea's No. 1 carmaker said that its engineers have conducted experiments of using small, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones that are controlled from a car so the driver can have a better understanding of the road ahead.
