Hyundai Ioniq Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) test 

I drove mine for 400 miles on UK motorways this week and within its own limits it works really well. Rest your hands on the bottom of the wheel, or your elbow on the edge of the windowsill and your hand on the horizontal arm of the wheel and you won't be bugged at all (unless LKAS loses the lane markers) but will be able to take over anytime you need to. Used that way, with adaptive cruise, and you get a relaxing drive for mile (or kilometer) after mile. No, it's not autonomous driving but, it makes long highway driving much safer if used as designed.

Thx for the nice video. Actually I´m driving an Ioniq Hybrid with the same LKA System. And Yes, it does help you, at least it supports you while driving a long time on a motor way. Having the freedom to keep the feet off the throttle and grabbing the steering wheele just slightly makes the ride way more comfortable as without the system. :) BTW: The Time you can keep your hands off the steering wheel is always the same: 13 seconds (afaik).

Stay safe man! You're one of the best

The summary of Ioniq’s LKA is very good @14:01 but video angel didn’t help to get the whole picture...but to be fear most of Bjørns videos really good and informative. Thx Dude!

Interesting video but please give us a view of the road, this gets painful to watch

You should do a side by side video with that cars lane assist and autopilot comparison on the same road.

I have driven it from Copenhagen to Oslo and back with out snow and it worked very fine. Only twice it saw some "false" lines and I have to take over.

"Shiiiit man!" 😂

Bjørn, I would like you to tell us more about how well the cars handle: around corners, how good the suspension is, brakes. Especially that LRR tires sometimes are not the best choice for colder climate (snow/water), so it would be really interesting if you could tell us how EVs handle compared to some classic cars (golf, 3 series, opel astra) I red that for example Ioniq isn't very good to handle, so I wonder what you have to say about this As EVs start to gain more and more ground, they also need to improve on other aspects except range. keep up the good work!

interesting demonstration )))

The key word here is "Assist"...hence the need of keeping your hands on the steering wheel. Besides, "i think it works best if you go in a straight line" :D that was golden! It should definately slow down once it disengages LKA in the way you were showing, tho. I can tell the way LKA works in sub-optimal conditions (or even in ideal ones) isn't good enough for Hyundai to trust it at all. The Ioniq is still an interesting car, nonetheless.

I would suggest you get a bumper mounted canon option for high traffic areas.

Do you recommend to drive with the Orange, if you really really know, that your paying attention?

Excellent! Thank you 👍😁

What speed do you have to do for lka yo work

Thanks a lot! Is the "ping pong" also present in VW? How would you compare various Line Keeping Assist between different brands? (Kia vs Hyundai vs VW)

I also found the feeling of the steering wheel a bit weird when LKAS is enabled.

It is LKA not auto-pilot. "Assist" means you are still meant to steer. The idea is to provide tactile feedback before you leave a lane not to steer for you.

I like this assisted lane keeping more than the AP on Tesla since you can still drive normally and get immediately assisted when needed. Tesla takes the total control and then you’d still have to be alert which is more annoying than driving yourself actually. If you wanted to steer just for a moment, you can’t, since the Tesla AP switches off if you do. Changing lanes and taking over the control every once in a while becomes an annoyance with Tesla, and my God the beeps etc. all the time.. I wish Tesla had this type of version on the AP as well. Ioniq was a very nice surprise in this regard and the overall quality feel was good.

This is lane keep assist and that it does not bug you for a long time was because it turns off and on again several times. You see the green steering wheel that disappears and returns again several times when you release the steering wheel and every time you have to take over it is deactivated

I would love to see a video looking at BMWs system.

Bjorn, does the car also beep if you change lanes by using a short burst of turn signal? You know, when you don't push the turn signal stick all the way - just for the three, 5 or 7 indicators.

What happens if theres a pothole in the middle of the lane?

Test a Volvo with a plug in. xc90-has a little ev range.. . it has this sort of lane assist and adaptive cruise control.. I drove one and it really did a good job staying in the lane- however, I found the lane assist to be annoying.. if it won't fully stay in the lane, it kind of makes me more anxious.

I am driving a Kia Niro Hybrid with the same system and it is clearly stated in the instruction manual NEVER to leave the steering wheel, as this system is only a mere assistant, not an autopilot.

On the Lexus the steering wheel vibrates when veer of lane

Thats just how Audi active lane assist plays up - but it also sets off the "you need to take a break warning" that bugs you til you stop for 15 min !!!!!

At 9:22 did a crash happen? Rear end?

I was one of those who forget turnlights when changing lanes (i had a sport car so when changing lane i was simply too fast to be a danger for cars coming). Now with Ioniq i always use turnlights. It's not only for LKAS warnings but also to enable Blind Spot Detection warnings. You can also use them in "pulse". Just a pression on the shafts and they blink 3, 5, 9 times (configurable). A side note, comparing with a model3 autopilot is unfair not only for the missing hardware and the different scope of Auopilot vs Assistive systems bu the price of Model3 is not only higher. It's more than 50% higher! At that price the Ioniq is amazing in what it offers. i'm looking for your test of i3 as i read bad reviews of adaptive cruise control and lkas on that car.

👏🏻

Got the Hyundai hybrid Premium SE model recently. (2018 -UK) Loving it. Easily the best car I have ever had. Early days but averaging 62 mpg although I did have it in the sport mode a few times which makes it feel a different car again. Have to get used to a silent car on start up. Looks stunning in the platinum silver finish and much better looking than the Prius. Dual clutch automatic super smooth.

good video, bad camera angle we barely see the road this LKA looks quite dangerous.

Maybe the ping-pong Control is by design so that it’s uncomfortable to let it drive. It’s supposed to just nudge you back into your lane, not drive. This is Tesla’s mistake because people will bypass the safety shutoff and take a nap. Im pretty sure Hyundai can use PID control if they want it to be deceptively smooth, but you can’t defeat ping-pong control mode with an Orange. Haha

for the price the Ioniq is better and worth the money... currently a Model3 with Autopilot is about $57k and this is about $35k-$38k?? plus i think Hyundai has shown a full lvl4/5 version of this system that'll be available in the future...

Those systems aren't supposed to be used like Teslas autopilot. They're supposed to keep you from drifting out of your lane, not drive the car. That's why it ping pongs. It's not safe, and should not be used in this way.

Tesla's autopilot WILL eventually kill someone by the way the company keeps advertising this thing. These are nothing more than assist systems meant to make minor adjustments to a driver who is tired or not paying attention for a split second to say "hey man wake up & drive!", NOT autonomous drive. The closest we have to full autonomous drive is Audi's traffic jam assist in the A8, but even that is not exactly hands-off/attention-away program either.

Comparing a hyundai to a tesla lol two very vehicles on the opposite ends of the spectrum lol dont get me wrong, I love hyundai!!! In fact I have one, I drive one and I love it!!!!

"It disables the L KEY a, and then you die!!!" Had me LMAO 😂😂😂 That was funny!!! But I guess LKA is redundant. And I would have a hard time trusting this system. I guess you just have to find that sweet spot where You the driver and LKA work together. Otherwise it seems redundant and pointless.

:) "Line keeping" hehe

Tesla’s standard auto pilot option costs nearly 1/3 the cost of a used Ioniq Hybrid model here in the UK. I think the Ionic and the Model 3 are very similar in the way these cars have been designed. Just price wise they are very different.

👍😎🖖

it doesnt like the snow, it looks like a giant white line that it cannot find the center of

-8 degree? 😱😱😱

Shiieeeetttt

(LKA) "El, Kay, Ay" , not "El.Kee, Ay"...

Shiiiit man! Lol

This is lane keep system not self drive system... You can not ude it as a self driver this is danger

In English, the letter K is pronounced "kay", not "kee".

The Lane keeping system on the i3 is crap, it will just work on Autobahn and until 60km/h called traffic assistant​.

So basically u can't trust this system

Holy buttons batman. talk about a car that can't not have good updates, as its limited on function changing. Poor and out dated design.
