Part 3/9:
As it stands, the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 illustrates the potential pitfalls of these advanced systems. When operating in i-Pedal mode—where the vehicle slows down through regenerative braking based solely on the accelerator pedal position—the brake lights do not activate until the driver releases the pedal completely. This creates a hazardous situation where other drivers might be unaware that the vehicle is slowing down, potentially leading to rear-end collisions.
