Hyundai is working alongside an Israeli medical artificial intelligence (AI) start-up company on new AI-led technology that can alert the emergency services to a crash victims’ injuries.
Several new cars already have an ‘emergency call’ button integrated to them that can automatically contact the emergency services if the car senses that a crash has occurred – but this will be the first time that software can tell ambulance and police services the nature of a crash victim’s injuries using artificial intelligence.
Using data from the car and where the crash has occurred, AI can understand the severity of a crash, and therefore the likely injuries that have occurred.

Youngcho Chi, president and chief innovation officer at Hyundai Motor Group, said: “MDGo possesses exceptional AI analysis technology optimised for driver safety.
“Through this technology, we expect a significant improvement in the emergency medical services of vehicles in the short-term while our long-term goal is to provide innovations in passenger experience of vehicle safety, utilising new technology that enables real-time physical monitoring.”
