Claiming ‘class-leading’ back-seat space and headlined by a tough new ‘XRT’ trim, the ‘all-new’ Tucson has made its debut Hyundai has unveiled its new-generation Tucson medium SUV overnight, showcasing a physically larger, roomier, radically restyled and potentially hybrid-only successor. Now entering its fifth generation, the new Tucson is expected to arrive in Australia sometime in 2027 and will likely follow its competitors and the larger Palisade in becoming a hybrid-only offering, as local regulatory pressure ratchets down on heavy-emitting petrol-only powertrains. The model shown overnight has been presented exclusively for the South Korean market, and differences could appear when it’s shown to the global market next month, but it’s fundamentally expected to remain the same. Once it arrives in Australia, the Tucson will compete against the likes of the Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail, Tesla Model Y and the GWM Haval H6. Measuring 4700mm long (+60mm), 1905mm wide (40mm+), 1685mm high (+20mm), and with a 2785mm wheelbase (30mm+), the already fairly large medium SUV has grown larger again, to achieve what it claims is “best-in-class interior space”. It comes as cut-priced Chinese competitors such as the Haval H6 double down on back-seat space, with the rear headroom of the new Tucson growing by 29mm and even the angle of the rear doors has expanded from 73° to 83° to make getting in, and fitting child seats, even easier. The current 1.6L turbo-petrol hybrid ‘plugless’ drivetrain is expected to make its way into the new-generation Tucson, but it’s unclear if it will be more efficient or offer a plug-in hybrid stop-gap between it and the all-electric Ioniq 5. Using a philosophy named ‘Art of Steel’, the new Tucson has pivoted again with a far more angular take on the family SUV, retaining common features like the enhanced wheelarches but with a more

□ A research team led by Senior Researcher Bongseok Kim of the Future Mobility Research Division at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) has developed a “low-complexity receiver technology” that can simultaneously perform data communication and detect surrounding objects using automotive radar. □ In the fields of autonomous vehicles and connected cars, “Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)”—a next-generation mobility technology that enables vehicles to detect (sensing) their surroundings while simultaneously exchanging information (communication) with other vehicles or road infrastructure—is essential. However, conventional approaches require multiple signal processing units as the amount of data to be transmitted increases, making the system more complex and dramatically increasing the computational burden. □ The team led by Senior Researcher Bongseok Kim achieved a breakthrough in addressing this challenge by applying the “Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT)”—a mathematical technique for precisely analyzing complex signals whose frequency changes over time—to automotive radar receive signals. The team devised a method that concentrates dispersed signal energy into a single point, enabling more efficient data extraction. Consequently, communication information can be identified quickly and accurately using only a single receiver processing structure, without requiring a complex arrangement of multiple signal processing units. □ The research team conducted experiments by simulating a 77 GHz automotive radar environment involving high-speed driving at 240 km/h and complex radio wave reflection conditions. The results showed that the proposed technology delivered significantly more stable communication performance than conventional approaches while simultaneously improving both target range measurement and detection performance by compensating for radar signal spreading. □ In particular, even under adverse conditions of moving at high speed in environments with severe multipath propagation, the technology measured distances with an error of less than 1m and achieved a target detection rate approaching 100% when a sufficient signal level was secured. Above all, because it can be applied without

I’m not sure they asked any of us here in Texas, but it is what it is. Automakers may be spending billions of dollars developing autonomous driving technology, ever-larger infotainment screens and sophisticated connected-car features, but when shoppers are asked what they really want in their next new vehicle, something considerably simpler comes out on top: heated seats. According to WardsAuto, automotive research and consulting firm AutoPacific’s newly released 2026 Future Vehicle Planner found heated seats were the most-wanted vehicle feature among prospective new-car buyers. The study surveyed more than 19,000 licensed drivers who intend to acquire a new vehicle within the next three years and asked about more than 160 different vehicle features and technologies. Heated seats were selected by 47% of respondents, narrowly beating front and rear parking sensors at 45%. Rear automatic emergency braking was third at 44%. After that, several features clustered closely together, showing buyers are putting a premium on comfort, convenience and safety rather than simply chasing the newest technology. AutoPacific’s top 15 most-wanted features for 2026: - Heated seats — 47% - Front and rear parking sensors — 45% - Rear automatic emergency braking — 44% - Power front driver’s seat — 43% - Lane change assist — 43% - Night vision system — 43% - Adaptive cruise control with active lane centering and stop-and-go capability — 43% - Blind-spot cameras — 43% - Rear cross-traffic alert with automatic emergency braking — 42% - Auto Park — 41% - Wireless device charging pad — 41% - Power front passenger seat — 40% - Dash camera — 40% - Large-animal detection — 39% - All-wheel drive — 39%.

I've wanted to add a dashcam to my car for a long time, but I've been procrastinating. I didn't want to spend the money or go through the hassle of wiring it up across my vehicle. That led me to think: I already had a spare Android phone; there had to be a way to repurpose it as a dash cam. As it turns out, I'm late to the party, and there are plenty of ways to do so. I settled on the Droid Dashcam app because it had great reviews. This app turns any Android smartphone into a dedicated driving recorder complete with all the features you'd hope to see. Between loop recording, GPS overlays, and impact detection, you might be sitting on the most powerful dashcam around. For what I need from a dashcam, this setup makes more sense than a dedicated unit. Plus, it saved me money. Here's everything you need to know. Setting up Droid Dashcam on a spare Android phone Automatic recording makes it a cinch to get started Getting started with Droid Dashcam is as simple as it gets. The app is available on the Play Store, no sideloading required. Just install it and tap open. The app will ask for a few basic permissions when you first start it up, and then you're ready to go. I recommend investing in a dashboard mount so you can mount your phone horizontally, pointing outward through the windshield. Keeping the phone wired in is a good idea too, since running a constantly recording video camera can take a toll on the phone's battery life. Those are all the prerequisites you need. Coming to the app, it supports several triggers for automatic recording. You can set it to start immediately when it is put on charge, or

Cars are starting to fix their own recalls overnight—here's how it works About 10 years ago, a software update for your vehicle, as if it were your smartphone, was rare enough to make the news. Tesla owners were often the only ones who were aware of it and talking about it. In 2018, Consumer Reports tested a new Model 3 and clocked its stopping distance from 60 miles per hour at 152 feet, seven feet longer than a Ford F-150. Tesla responded with a wireless update to the anti-lock braking software, a fix that allowed the Model 3 to stop in 133 feet without a physical repair. Today, a car can update itself in the middle of the night while it sits parked in the driveway and the owner sleeps. There's no phone call to the dealership, no appointment to schedule, and no waiting room involved. Berg Insight, a research firm that tracks the connected car market, found that 83% of new cars sold worldwide in 2025 had a built-in cellular connection, up from 79% the year before. In North America, that number was even higher, with 94% of new cars sold in 2025 having the built-in cellular connection necessary to receive updates wirelessly, or over the air (OTA). How "over-the-air" applies to your car Updates are becoming more extensive OTA stands for over-the-air. It describes any update your vehicle downloads and installs through its own cellular connection or a paired Wi-Fi network. No dealer visit or USB drive is required. Instead, the manufacturer issues new software for your vehicle, which downloads in the background and installs once it's parked and turned off. Some updates finish in minutes, while others ask the vehicle to sit still overnight so nothing interrupts the install. OTA updates can span a wide range of

Ford reveals new LMDh car on track at Paul Ricard The American manufacturer has released the first images of its brand-new challenger Ford’s brand-new LMDh car performed its maiden shakedown at Le Castellet on Monday ahead of its World Endurance Championship debut in 2027. Circuit Paul Ricard was chosen for the shakedown as it is close to the headquarters of manufacturer ORECA, whose chassis forms the basis of the unnamed Ford prototype. The 5.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine derived from the Coyote, built and tested at the Dearborn facility, was fitted to the chassis and started up for the first time last month. “Testing of the Hypercar began on Wednesday 5 August, starting with several days of running-in tests, which went smoothly and according to plan,” the Ford Racing statement explained. “The team methodically followed a comprehensive programme to activate and verify every control system; these are now all fully operational and ready for the first track tests scheduled for this week and next.” Works drivers Matt Campbell and Logan Sargeant took turns at the wheel of the car, with team-mates Tom Blomqvist and Mike Rockenfeller to follow in the coming days. The initial test sessions had been entrusted to those drivers too, except Sargeant. Nick Yelloly and Sebastian Priaulx will also take part in the project ahead of Ford’s Hypercar debut next year.

- SignalTrace can correlate wireless device signals with license plate reader data and recurring travel patterns. - SignalTrace itself does not identify people, but investigators can combine its electronic signatures with outside records to develop leads. - Researchers have shown that movement and proximity data can reveal identities and social connections over time. - The Supreme Court has strengthened protections for cellphone location data, but SignalTrace raises new legal questions. Your phone may be giving a roadside sensor clues about where you go and which devices regularly travel alongside you. Say you carpool to work with the same person most mornings. Your car passes a license plate reader, which records the plate along with the time and location. Meanwhile, another sensor detects wireless signals coming from devices traveling nearby. Your phone might be there. So could a smartwatch, wireless headphones or electronics built into the car. After enough trips, software may recognize that some of those signals tend to move together. Now there is a recurring electronic pattern associated with that vehicle. Weeks later, one of those signals appears somewhere else, perhaps near a different vehicle connected to an investigation. Police may not know who owns the device yet. However, its previous connections could give investigators a place to start. That is the idea behind SignalTrace, a technology marketed to law enforcement by security company Leonardo. And it raises a big privacy question: How anonymous is a device signal once it can be tied to a vehicle, repeated locations and other devices traveling alongside it? How SignalTrace device tracking works SignalTrace works alongside automatic license plate reader technology, commonly called ALPR. Traditional license plate readers photograph passing vehicles. They can record the plate number, vehicle information and the time and location of the sighting. We recently looked at how license

In this week's Legally Speaking, Attorney Ken Denos with Acadia Law Group says your car may be selling you out to insurers. Here's the part most people don't realize: you don't have to download anything for this to be happening. Ken says a lot of newer vehicles are already collecting this data straight from the car itself. Connected car technology has been standard across most manufacturers for years now — so if you're driving something built in roughly the last five years, there's a real chance your car has been quietly logging your driving habits and handing them off to someone else, whether you ever downloaded a single app or not. So, how do you protect yourself? Ken says to check your vehicle's connected-services settings. Most automakers let you opt out of location and driving-behavior data collection through the car's infotainment menu or the manufacturer's companion app, even if it's not obvious or well-labeled. Also, you can ask your dealer or manufacturer directly, in writing, whether your vehicle collects and sells driving data, and to whom. If your premium jumps for no clear reason, ask why. Insurers using outside data to price your policy generally have to tell you where that data came from — exercise that right. Ken says the bottom line is... a safe-driver discount sounds like a reward. Too often it's a data-collection agreement wearing a discount's clothing — and sometimes you never even got asked to sign up. You can get your legal questions answered 24/7 by calling 801-816-2525 or visiting acadialawgroup.com.

Ford and Lincoln are seen as American brands. Still, like other global automakers, Ford and its luxury brand build vehicles globally and then import them into the U.S. Starting in 2030, Ford has plans to increase Lincoln production in the U.S. and stop importing luxury vehicles from China.
