HOW TO USE HYUNDAI HIGHWAY DRIVING ASSIST AND HYUNDAI NAVIGATION BASED CRUISE CONTROL

EV Channels Review

This video provides a practical demonstration of Hyundai's Highway Driving Assist and Navigation Based Smart Cruise Control systems, specifically within a 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited. The reviewer highlights that these features require the navigation system and function on controlled-access highways without traffic lights. Key functionalities include automatic speed adjustments based on detected speed limit changes and enhanced stop-and-go traffic behavior, allowing the vehicle to resume motion after a longer stop (up to 30 seconds) compared to standard smart cruise control. However, the reviewer notes significant inconsistencies in the system's performance. While demonstrating successes, particularly with resuming after stops and changing speed limits, the system also exhibited failures, notably not adjusting speed to a lower limit during a previous test and temporarily disengaging during a freeway interchange. The reviewer concludes that while the system can be impressive when it works, it's finicky and somewhat superfluous, suggesting that the standard Smart Cruise Control with Lane Keeping and Lane Following Assist might be sufficient for most drivers. Upgrading solely for Highway Driving Assist is not recommended, but it's a decent addition if bundled with higher trim levels.
