News & Reviews:   Hyundai

Mobile apps can control a variety of products these days, thanks to wireless connectivity. It's even happening with some cars, which have fancy displays and software. In fact, Samsung is adding controls for cars to its SmartThings app.

Hyundai Motor, one of the leading brands from South Korea, is now sharing that it will open its first factory in Malaysia, located in Kulim. For this purpose, Hyundai will invest as much as RM2.16 billion in Malaysia. So, what should you know about it?

It looks like Apple and Hyundai are back working with each other again for something that is not an electric car. Sources are claiming that the two are now shifting their focus to manufacturing electric scooter which has features that most of us would like to have.

Based on a statement by 9to5mac, it seems that Hyundai and Kia recently confirmed that they are no longer working with Apple to manufacture the Apple Car. With that being said, it seems that the Apple Car will not be available in the global market until much later.

Based on a statement by gizmodo, it seems that the discussion between Hyundai and Kia in regards to developing the Apple Car might have been put on hold. With that in mind, it is very likely that the driverless vehicle might be postponed for quite a while until further notice.

A car is not what you'd expect a company like Apple to be involved in building. But the company is looking to develop an electric car, by investing around RM14 billion in Hyundai. Moreover, the company's first electric car could be fully autonomous.

We previously reported that Apple is teaming up with Hyundai on an Apple Car and invested around ~RM14 billion. With the investment on Hyundai's subsidiary brand, Kia, multiple sources have cited that it would be an "autonomous, electric vehicles designed to operate without a driver and focused on the last mile".

Apple entering the car business is not the latest news anymore as the rumours have been roaming around for years. Earlier, it was reported that the tech giant has finally taken the first step by choosing Hyundai as a partner for car production. Now, the deal might be closed soon as Apple is reportedly going to invest 3.6 billion USD (~RM14 billion) in Hyundai's subsidiary Kia.

Previously, we got news about Apple collaborating with Hyundai to manufacture an electric car. There wasn't much news after that but it seems that sources have confirmed that the two companies will be partners. They will sign a new partnership deal by March and start manufacturing in 2024.

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that Apple will be collaborating with Hyundai Motor to manufacture Apple’s upcoming vehicle called the Apple Car. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date and local pricing of the aforementioned vehicle, our source did mention that it will most likely be available in either 2024 or 2028.
