Do you think the AI enhanced driving features the Ioniq 9 will have are a step towards full autonomy or just fancy cruise control?

Hyundai has touted the Ioniq 9's advanced AI driven driving assistance features as a huge step forward in automotive technology. These systems promise to add to navigation, predictive energy management, and more sophisticated adaptive cruise control and lane keeping capabilities. Though the marketing around these features suggests that they are bringing the vehicle closer to autonomy, exactly what the capabilities and limitations are remain somewhat unclear. That has spurred debate over whether these AI upgrades represent a genuine leap forward for actual self driving cars, or whether they are just the next iteration of driver assistance technologies. The discussion also covers questions related to driver engagement, safety and the regulatory environment in which increasingly automated vehicles will operate.

While it’s definitely a step towards autonomy, we’re still a long way from truly self driving cars. AI is more about your capabilities and your position as a driver than it is about replacing you.

Fancy cruise control, 100%. A car is not really autonomous until it can do everything a human can do without human intervention. It’s just a more advanced driver assist system.

I think it's somewhere in the middle. These AI features aren’t full autonomy, but they learn and adapt in ways that basic cruise control never could. It’s laying the groundwork for future autonomous systems.

The real question is: how much will these features actually improve safety? Whether we call it autonomous or not, if they can reduce accidents by a significant amount, that's a win.

These systems worry me because they make drivers too complacent. The AI could get too relied on by people and they would forget to look out for the road.

The predictive energy management aspect is interesting. That could be a game changer for EVs if it can have a big impact on range and efficiency.

It’s all about the user experience. Even if it’s not full autonomy, if these AI features take some of the stress out of driving and make it more fun, that’s a big step forward.
