Hyundai and Kia develop UV-C car sanitation system

Hyundai and Kia are developing a new in-car sanitation system called Plasma Care UVC, which uses far-ultraviolet C (Far-UVC) light to reduce bacteria and viruses. This technology is designed to operate safely even with passengers present and is particularly effective at eliminating odor-causing organisms. Rigorous testing has shown significant reductions in airborne viruses, pneumonia-causing bacteria, and E. coli, though direct illumination is required for effectiveness, and some pathogens can self-repair.
