Hyundai Motor lowers G90\s self-driving speed limit

Hyundai G90

Hyundai Motor Co. will lower the autonomous driving speed limit of the all-new G90 flagship sedan under its independent Genesis brand to 60 kilometers per hour in line with international standards.

The South Korean top carmaker is set to release a Level 3 autonomous driving technology-equipped G90 in the fourth quarter.

The US Society of Automotive Engineers International defies five levels of driving automation.

A Level 3 vehicle may do lane changes and other autonomous driving activities without the driver's assistance.

Level 3 self-driving cars are now permitted to travel up to the speed limit on roads in South Korea. They, like other cars, may travel at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour on highways.

The World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UN/ECE/WP.29) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) adopted a worldwide standard in March 2021 restricting the speed of Level 3 autonomous cars to 60 kilometers per hour.

The worldwide norm is anticipated to be amended shortly since the UN/ECE/WP.29 is discussing raising the speed restriction for self-driving cars.

Hyundai Motor is likely to alter its speed restriction via an over-the-air (OTA) software update after the release of the G90.
