Neither company has elaborated any further or revealed any details about a possible deal but insiders say that the two industry giants may have discussed a future partnership to supply Hyundai\u2019s self-driving cars to Uber for ride-sharing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two companies can create synergy in their future businesses through the partnership,\u201d said Lee Sang-hyun, an analyst from IBK Investment &amp; Securities. \u201cIt will be a good opportunity for Hyundai to secure a stable client of its autonomous cars. For Uber\u2019s part, it may want to lay the groundwork to restart its business via the partnership with the local automaker after failing to run its business [in Korea] due to regulations,\u201d Lee continued.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Uber said it aims to provide ride-sharing services using autonomous vehicles by the year 2020 by partnering with automakers instead of trying to produce the cars themselves. Hyundai has said it will replace all of its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosenhyundai.com\/new-inventory\/index.htm?bodyStyle=Sedan&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;\">cars<\/a> with autonomous vehicles by the year 2030. It seems like a perfect marriage between two companies who are actively moving toward uncharted territory.<\/p>\n<p>Hyundai has already rolled out its premium brands (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosenhyundai.com\/new-inventory\/index.htm?listingConfigId=auto-new&amp;year=&amp;model=Genesis&amp;bodyStyle=&amp;internetPrice=&amp;start=0&amp;sort=&amp;facetbrowse=true&amp;searchLinkText=SEARCH&amp;showFacetCounts=true&amp;showRadius=false&amp;showSubmit=true&amp;showSelections=true\">Genesis EQ900<\/a> and G80) with their new Highway Driving Assist System, an autonomous technology which keeps the car within its lane and maintains a safe distance from the car ahead. It\u2019s a nascent form of self-driving that the company will only continue to expand upon in the coming years. Market watchers expect that the Highway Driving Assist System will be applied to the automaker\u2019s new Grandeur model in the second half of this year.<\/p>\n<p>All things considered, this seems like a perfect \u201cin\u201d for Uber, which suffered a huge blow in March of 2015 when its car-sharing services were effectively ended by the Korean government\u2019s Passenger Transport Service Act following strong opposition to Uber\u2019s business model from the taxi industry. Earlier this year, Uber Korea rolled out Uber Black, a premium taxi service which connects passengers with taxi drivers through a smartphone app.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the remarkable rate at which autonomous car technology is progressing, we won\u2019t have to wait long to see the preliminary plans for this program emerge.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, nothing replaces driving your own Hyundai with the windows down on a sunny day.
