Hyundai has tested an autonomous car that relies on less computer power, making it cheaper and more attractive to average buyers. The carmaker showed off two Ioniqs fitted with radar and cameras, as well as sensors at the front and side, but the model saves power by having less sensor coverage at the back. A test Ioniq was driven around Las Vegas with no problems, but Hyundai warned the lack of computer power means the vehicle relies on high-definition mapping, and on roads that have not been mapped, the car will have to be driven traditionally.
