Hyundai and Kia have a new idea to keep your interior germ-free. The Korean automakers revealed “the world’s first in-vehicle sanitization technology,” after a successful test in the PV5.
Hyundai, Kia unveil new type of in-car sanitization tech
After the global COVID-19 pandemic, germ-fighting technology has come a long way. Portable UV lights, face masks, and antimicrobial sprays are available in nearly every store.
The new technology is now making its way into vehicles. Hyundai Motor and Kia introduced what they call “the world’s first in-vehicle sanitization technology,” which uses a plasma lamp to disinfect and reduce odors, even while you’re still in the vehicle.
It might seem a bit unsafe, given that ultraviolet (UV) light exposure can cause sunburns and eye irritations, but Hyundai and Kia said the system is safe.
