What is Hyundai Highway Driving Assist?
Hyundai Highway Driving Assist (otherwise known as HDA) is a semi-autonomous safety feature that blends the two sub-variant features of lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control to help you maintain a safe driving distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you.
Key Features of Highway Driving Assist
Highway Driving Assist can help you on highways to maintain a predetermined speed while also keeping your vehicle centered within its designated lane. Some of its key features include:
- Stop-and-go capability
- Speed limit assist
- Lane change assist
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane centering and more
These features, in addition to many others, help HDA to secure your roadway safety while you're traversing various highways.
Benefits of Hyundai Highway Driving Assist
The system is a simple and practical piece of state-of-the-art technology. As a result, it comes with many benefits and advantages that can ease your roadway burden while on the highway. Some of these advantages include the following:

Aside from the increased sense of safety that HDA provides, it also works to provide a more streamlined driving experience as well.
How Highway Driving Assist Works
Highway Driving Assist works by employing a navigation map database, GPS technology, and a forward-facing camera and radar unit. This advanced configuration provides driving assistance on specific interstate highways. For this reason, your vehicle must be traveling on an approved highway for the system to become functional.
The radar unit communicates with the adaptive cruise control system, allowing it to keep a safe distance between you and the traffic in front of you. As a result, the system works on your behalf to maintain safety and security while on the highway.
