What's even cooler and new for the ioniq 6 is that it also uses the cameras to detect empty spots. You can take it to an empty parking lot with no cars and it will still work well. The RSPA in the ioniq 5 and ev6 only use other cars as references using the sensors I believe. As an engineer I can say they spent a LOT of time developing this. Need to be able to track the car's movements with pin drop precision which is insanely hard to do in reality. Lots of respect for the engineering teams in Korea for producing this masterpiece of a car and pricing it reasonably (imo).
It’s also not something I use on a daily basis, because it’s way too slow, but it’s a thing to show off once in a while :D. It does a pretty good job everytime though. Otherwise, the remote forward/backward, I used it for the first genuine need two days ago. The only place available was too tight for me to get out, but the car could fit in. So I remote parked it :-D I wonder if it can also get out of it’s spot ?
Its actually not that hard. You just detect the empty spot via vision, which is pretty easy for marked spots and machine learning helps a lot in this regards. Once you have that the rest is just doing the movement. And because you know every bit of movement you make, you can actually do it without requiring any sight after finding the initial spot.
@@Seitenwerk each of the steps you mentioned is not easy to do reliably in real world conditions. Doing good odometey in real life is very hard with that precision. It is not easy as you say i beg to differ
You're a brave man! Thanks for this video. I've had my I6 for a couple days and I can't imagine using this feature, as cool as it is. Maybe there will come a time when I need it, but for now I'll park the old fasiohed way. Great vids - keep 'em coming!
My hubby has a 5 and I'm considering a 6. We tried the regular space auto park and it was so slow that the decided it wasn't worth using. We never tried the parallel parking though. I would totally use that.
Just found out a couple of days ago that my new car has this feature. I am trying to gather up courage to try it out. Watching a couple of videos where "car -guys" are rather shaky as they do the same, made me understand that being a bit nervous about it has nothing to do with being over 70 :)
Will it un-park itself from the key fob ? I just think I found the answer. It can only un-park from a parallel space. "Smart Exit" aka Parallel forward exit. And only from inside the vehicle. Otherwise you can manually move it out of a perpendicular spot with the key fob. Does Parking assist work in the dark? PSA - I have experienced false warnings from rain drops on the sensors. keep a rag handy to clean of the sensors as needed.

Hey Ed Awesome content, your videos helped me decide to go for the Ioniq 6 🙂. Just wanted to know where you got those orange coloured strips on the side skirts and bumper?
I could see this as helpful when there's just a few spaces left that would be too tight to open the door. But I don't know if I'd feel comfortable holding up traffic with it taking this long.

If I buy my next EV this will be it for sure! Cool video Mr. Ed. Do you have any videos of you driving this car in auto assist mode? A lot of new car are starting to have this feature now. Most Tesla’s have this feature called auto pilot which is really good on the freeway, it actually makes Tesla’s, I think, one of the safest cars to drive on the freeway.

It's actually the receiver part of the hitch that I am most interested in. Is it 1 1/4" or 2". Mine will be for a 1 1/4" bike carrier.

I have been on the fence about buying an Ioniq 6 AWD Limited and finally test drove one today and that put me over the edge.

The sticking point is the wife chooses the color and the dealer only has black right now, and she wants a lighter color. BTW, the Android Auto in the car I drove today was wireless.

Thx for the comment! Yes, you can remote start first, then use the buttons to remotely move the car forwards and backwards. I use it more often then I thought I would.
