Hyundai has unveiled a software platform designed to improve its transmission technology. Active Shift Control informs the hybrid powertrain's electric motor when to align the rotational speeds of the engine and the transmission. Hyundai claims the technology will reduce shift times by 30%, while also making the company's cars more efficient and durable. The new system is based on an advanced algorithm that uses data from sensors in the front wheels as well as sensor fusion with radar systems mounted at each wheel hub.
