Automotive electronics solutions company builds on smart key supply experience in Taiwan to expand overseas with AI-based around-view and pedal misapplication prevention technologies
SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Automotive electronics solutions company AP MOBILITY is expanding into the global automotive aftermarket, leveraging its vehicle convenience and safety technologies. Building on the experience it has gained supplying smart key solutions in Taiwan, the company is broadening its overseas business by expanding its product lineup to include AI-based 360-degree around-view and pedal misapplication prevention solutions.
AP MOBILITY develops and supplies a range of mobility solutions based on automotive electronics technology, designed to enhance vehicle safety and convenience. Its flagship products include MAX PRO, an AI-based 360-degree around-view solution; S KEY, a smart key solution that adds a range of convenience features primarily for Hyundai and Kia vehicles; and AB LIGHT, a vehicle safety solution developed to prevent accidents caused by pedal misapplication.
MAX PRO allows drivers to view their surroundings through 360-degree video, helping them more easily identify blind spots and hazards to improve visibility while parking and driving. AP MOBILITY is advancing the technology by combining video technology with vehicle safety to supplement driver visibility.
S KEY is a solution that expands vehicle convenience features by building on the factory smart key systems of Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It is designed to add a variety of functions, including automatic door lock/unlock, lock-while-running, and remote control. Noting that Hyundai and Kia vehicles are also widely distributed overseas, the company is extending the vehicle-specific technology application experience it has accumulated domestically into international markets.
AP MOBILITY has been building its overseas business experience in Taiwan primarily through S KEY LITE. The company has supplied products to local Taiwanese distributors since 2025, shipping approximately 1,100 units to Taiwan between the second half of 2025 and August 2026. Through this experience, the company has confirmed the product’s applicability and competitiveness in overseas markets, and plans to further expand overseas supply of S KEY and other automotive electronics products.
Driver safety is another area AP MOBILITY is focusing on for future overseas expansion. Beyond expanding convenience features for existing vehicles, the company is broadening its business into electronics solutions that enhance the safety of both drivers and vehicles.
AB LIGHT reflects this strategy. The product was developed to address risks that can arise from pedal misapplication. It analyzes vehicle CAN data in real time to assess pedal operation and driving conditions, issuing visual and audible warnings when abnormal operation is detected. If dangerous acceleration continues, the system is designed to cut off the accelerator pedal signal. Notably, it is designed to be installed as an aftermarket solution without requiring modification of the vehicle’s ECU.
AP MOBILITY notes that pedal misapplication is not a risk confined to any particular age group, but one that can affect any driver. Building on AB LIGHT’s ability to be retrofitted onto existing vehicles, the company plans to identify new demand for safety solutions in the automotive aftermarket.
A notable aspect of AP MOBILITY’s global strategy is that while each product serves a different function, they share a common thread as aftermarket electronics solutions that complement the functionality and safety of existing vehicles. MAX PRO uses video technology to supplement visibility around the vehicle; S KEY builds on existing smart key systems to expand convenience features; and AB LIGHT uses vehicle CAN data to address risks from pedal misapplication.
In particular, AP MOBILITY plans to leverage its experience developing vehicle-specific technologies for Hyundai and Kia vehicles — which are also widely distributed overseas — as a competitive advantage in its global expansion. The company aims to apply the overseas business experience gained through S KEY’s supply in Taiwan to its other product lines, including MAX PRO and AB LIGHT, supplying products tailored to the vehicle environments and market characteristics of each country.
Going forward, AP MOBILITY plans to expand its cooperation with overseas distribution partners, building on the S KEY supply experience it has accumulated in the Taiwanese market. The company will continue to increase the range of applicable vehicle models and supply countries for S KEY, centered on Hyundai and Kia vehicles, drawing on its domestic experience applying technology across different vehicle models to meet the needs of each overseas market.
At the same time, the company is positioning MAX PRO and AB LIGHT as key products for further overseas expansion. MAX PRO will target the market as a video-based vehicle safety and parking solution, while AB LIGHT will do so as a driver safety solution for preventing pedal misapplication, with both products’ applicable vehicle models and supply scope to be expanded in stages according to the vehicle environment of each country.
“Building on our product supply experience in the Taiwanese market, we plan to expand cooperation with overseas distribution partners and broaden the supply of our automotive electronics products to a range of countries,” an AP MOBILITY representative said. “Over the long term, our goal is to grow into a comprehensive mobility solutions company that supplies a wide range of automotive electronics solutions to the global market — including MAX PRO’s video technology, S KEY’s vehicle convenience technology, and AB LIGHT’s driver safety technology.”
