Hyundai Motor aims to have autonomous driving tech on market in 2020
SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co on Tuesday said it aims to commercialize autonomous driving capabilities in some of its cars in 2020, as the South Korean automaker plays catch-up in the increasingly competitive technology.
Car makers such as Mercedes and General Motors Co (NYSE:GM) as well as technology giants like Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) are already developing driverless vehicles which can complete whole journeys without human input.
But some analysts expect self-driving cars will not appear on global markets until the early- or mid-2020s, partly due to regulatory hurdles.
Hyundai Motor, like other automakers, already has autonomous features in premium vehicles like the Genesis, which can be programmed to hit the brakes when a pedestrian steps out.
