One of the neat features is the ability to park the Tucson remotely. When the engine is running, simply hold the forward button on the key fob and the Tucson self-drives into the parking spot. Pushing the back button sees it reverse out. The next time some twerp parks so close you can’t open the driver’s door, it’s no longer a problem. Yes, it is sort of gimmicky, but it is also pretty cool.
The safety equipment list includes all key features and then some. Aside from all the usual kit, including a drowsy-driver monitor, comes a small button on the right side of the steering wheel. It activates the Highway Driving Assist feature. It keeps the Tucson centred in its lane during normal driving and it works with the adaptive cruise control. When the cruise is activated, the Tucson has a semi-autonomous drive function.
