Freedom of Movement: A Drivetrain Study for Future Autonomous Mobility
Funded by: Hyundai Motor Group Period: 2022 – 2023 Keywords: Mobility, Drivetrain, Vehicle dynamics, Autonomous mobility
Overview
This project investigated novel drivetrain concepts and performance trade-offs for future autonomous mobility platforms — exploring how alternative drivetrain configurations can expand the operational envelope of self-driving vehicles beyond conventional constraints.
Note: An animation video (애니메이션_최종본.mp4) is available in the source materials.
