Seems really cool. I will definitely not buy the first model vehicle to use this, though.

Surprisingly easy to understand video for a complex concept.

It is made by Hyundai, I wouldn't touch anything close to cutting edge they make.

I can already see this tech holding a yard sale on the freeway after a pothole.

After owning a Hyundai I won't touch anything made by Ford or Chevy again. This car has had literally nothing wrong with it for over 70k miles. Except routine maintenance like brakes, oil changes, air filter and tires.

I worked in automotive for years. Hyundai/Kia fail spectacularly in ways no modern car should. Randomly catching fire to the point you are advised to not park inside, engines destroying themselves due to a manufacturing/design error they lied about, a faulty design in the transmission control unit that causes forward and reverse to invert should there be a short in the tail light, thousands of dollars in damage or engine loss due to a failure of a $0.50 motor that is not weatherproofed, among other things.

After the Theta II engines starting blowing up they came out with their 100k mile warranty. That is not a sign of confidence in their product, that is a confidence-man tactic.
