Hyundai Plans to Offer Self-Driving Tech by 2020

Hyundai is joining the push towards self-driving cars. 

The company has announced its intention to have commercially available autonomous capabilities in some of its vehicles by 2020. The Korean automaker is working to catch up to other automakers like Audi and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to self-driving technologies. Currently, the only Hyundai with autonomous technology is the Genesis, which has an auto-brake feature to avoid front collisions.

While many automakers have pledged to bring self-driving cars to market by 2020, regulatory hurdles will probably keep that from happening so fast. For Hyundai, expect the flagship Genesis to be the first to receive the new technology, which is then likely to trickle down to other models.
