Hyundai Ioniq 5 Robotaxi passed the DMV test

Hyundai is one of the leaders in autonomous driving technology, which is becoming an indispensable part of new cars. The question is, how much do people trust self-driving cars? According to the survey, most Americans are afraid of autonomous vehicles and 1/4 of them are unsure about this technology. Therefore, Hyundai decided to put its Ioniq 5 Robotaxi through a driving test similar to the one that drivers go through. The car managed to meet the criteria of DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) examiner Kandice Jones.

Kandice Jones is a professional in this field with 25 years of experience and someone who is very strict. It should be noted that only 16 percent of its candidates pass the driving test. During the test drive, she paid attention to everything from stopping distance to changing lanes. “I’ve failed thousands and thousands of students in the interest of public safety. The criteria is the same as for humans. I monitored speed, realignments, maneuvers, stopping, driving in the lane, reaction time and more,” Jones said.

After the test drive, Jones noted that she was impressed with the vehicle’s capabilities, and that the Ioniq 5 Robotaxi met all the criteria. Of course, this was just a test and nothing more, but Hyundai hopes that this test will give people more confidence in autonomous vehicles.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5

In 2021, Hyundai unveiled a fully electric crossover inspired by the original Hyundai Pony, the Ioniq 5. Three years later, a redesigned version of this model arrived on the market.

At first glance, the distinctive design has been retained with new front and rear bumpers, a wider front air intake, a 50 mm extended rear spoiler, and a special body kit decorated with several N Line badges. The front bumper has bright wings inspired by the Ioniq 5 N, and there are also body-colored fenders, a changed design of the sills, and a new set of aerodynamic 20-inch wheels.

Hyundai engineers equipped the car with a stiffer body, better shock absorbers for greater comfort, reduced vibrations on the steering wheel, reinforced rear wheels and undercarriage. Door and B-pillar reinforcements improve side impact protection in combination with side airbags in the second row of seats.

Inside, a new steering wheel, sports seats, metal pedals, a black headliner, new dashboard details, red thread and several N Line badges adorn the interior of the car. New buttons have been added to the center console to control functions such as seat heating and cooling, steering wheel heating, parking assist system and other functions. There is also a new generation Connected car Navigation Cockpit infotainment system compatible with wireless over-the-air software upgrades.

When it comes to the powertrain, Hyundai hasn’t mentioned any changes. The car is equipped with an 84 kWh battery, which should provide a longer range compared to the previous 77.4 kWh battery, which enables a range of 488 km EPA, or 507 km WLTP.
