Ce robotaxi a réussi l’examen du permis de conduire avec un score parfait

Là où les humains échouent régulièrement à leur premier passage de l’examen, est-ce que le robotaxi s’en sort mieux ? C’est ce que Hyundai a voulu tester, avec l’un de ses robotaxis Ioniq 5. Une publicité bien pensée.
Les mises à jour OTA en voiture électrique : qu’est-ce que c’est, est-ce que ça vaut le coup ?
news.movim.eu / Numerama · Monday, 18 March - 06:15
La voiture électrique qui se met à jour autant qu'un ordinateur ou un smartphone est aujourd'hui une réalité. À première vue, c'est une avancée utile, puisque le véhicule s'améliore au fil du temps. Mais est-ce si important d'avoir des mises à jour à distance en 2024 ?
Hyundai booste encore la batterie de son Ioniq 5 au lieu de baisser son prix
news.movim.eu / Numerama · Monday, 4 March - 16:15
C’est déjà la deuxième fois que le constructeur coréen change la batterie de son Ioniq 5. Lancé avec une batterie de 72,6 kWh, le modèle est désormais annoncé avec 84 kWh de capacité. Or, cela ne change pas grand-chose pour ce modèle.

Hyundai and Kia completely rethink the EV drive unit with Uni Wheel idea

We like weird new engineering ideas here at Ars, and today we have a particularly interesting one in the realm of electric cars. It's called the Uni Wheel, and it has been designed by Hyundai and Kia as a way to revolutionize the layout of an EV powertrain to more efficiently use space. In fact, the automakers say it's not just for cars—the new drive system works with wheel sizes as small as four inches to as large as 25 inches.
For EV enthusiasts of a certain bent, there's something a little inefficient about the way virtually every EV powertrain is laid out.
Not the battery in the middle, though—while it's bulky and raises the overall height of EVs, it makes sense for weight distribution, although people working on structural carbon-fiber batteries have some different ideas about that. The problem is the EV drive unit, a bulky thing that contains the electric motor, some gearing, and usually some power electronics. These take up room between the axles and have to be packaged around.

After driving the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, I finally get EV “engine” sounds

Hyundai provided flights and accommodation from Los Angeles to Seoul for Steve to drive the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Ars does not accept paid editorial content.SEOUL, South Korea—EV drivers either seem to love or hate the fake powertrain sounds that accompany their cars. Some fully embrace the spaceship or video-game-like noises, while others can't turn them off fast enough. I'm firmly in the latter group, long believing that the best thing about an EV is its dead-silent operation. Or, at least, I was until I drove the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 N earlier this month.
When you put the Ioniq 5 in N mode, it calls up a few different sound profiles—everything from your typical spaceship-y wooh-ahh tones to something attempting to re-create the aural quality of a turbocharged hot hatch. I say “attempting” because, well, none of the soundtracks are particularly good or high-quality. I've heard better stuff in Gran Turismo . Like, the first Gran Turismo .
In any case, when you activate N mode, the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster also displays a tachometer in the middle, complete with a needle that rests at an imaginary idle. The regenerative braking paddles mounted to the steering wheel suddenly become gear shifters, and the sound of the "engine" rises and lowers as you move through each "gear." (Read all these as air quotes—it helps.)

Small-batch EVs and plenty of robots—Hyundai’s new innovation center

Hyundai provided flights and accommodation from San Francisco to Singapore so Roberto could visit the Hyundai Innovation Center. Ars does not accept paid editorial content.SINGAPORE—The Hyundai Motor Group seems to have figured it out. While other automakers are pulling back on EVs, the Korean automaker continues to introduce EVs that people like and are purchasing.
It's not rocket science that if you offer good EVs at relatively reasonable prices, the sales will follow. Or maybe it is; I don't want to pretend I understand the mind of an automotive CEO.
As HMG gears up for additional models in its lineup and falls for the allure of increased EV sales, it's building additional facilities, including the Georgia Metaplant that Hyundai is rushing to start production in 2024 . Once at peak production, Hyundai says it will spit out about half a million EVs a year.
