Genesis 'GV60' Wireless Software Update... "ADAS New Features Added"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Genesis brand (hereafter Genesis) announced on the 6th that it will provide a wireless software update that further enhances the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functions of the GV60, which was launched last October.

With the launch of the GV60, Genesis has significantly expanded the scope of wireless software updates, which were previously only available for the infotainment system, to include major electronic control devices such as ▲advanced driver assistance system ▲electric vehicle integrated control unit ▲suspension ▲brakes ▲steering wheel ▲airbags, enabling continuous performance improvements throughout the vehicle.

Through this, customers can conveniently apply improved software at home or workplace parking lots without visiting a service center. The vehicle can always be kept up to date.

With this update, Genesis adds new functions to the GV60 ADAS, including ▲front and side parking collision-avoidance assist (PCA-F/S) ▲side parking distance warning (PDW-S) ▲remote smart parking assist 2 (RSPA 2), helping drivers drive more conveniently and safely.

The parking collision-avoidance assist expands the collision detection range to the front and sides by additionally utilizing the wide-angle cameras mounted on the GV60’s outside mirrors and the side ultrasonic sensors mounted on the bumper, warning of collision risks with pedestrians or objects in all directions during parking and assisting braking.

After completing this update, a new ‘front and side safety’ item will be added alongside the existing ‘rear safety’ item in the vehicle’s Settings → Vehicle → Driver Assistance → Parking Safety menu. Activating this allows the use of the functions.

The parking distance warning also expands the detection range from the existing front and rear to the sides, warning of objects located on the sides when the vehicle moves forward or backward.

The remote smart parking assist function is also upgraded.

The newly applied Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 significantly strengthens the parking space recognition function by additionally utilizing video information from the wide-angle camera along with the existing ultrasonic sensor detection information.

Previously, the parking assist function could only be used if there was a separate reference object such as another vehicle or a pillar nearby. With the wireless software update applied, the vehicle can recognize parking lines through the wide-angle camera and park autonomously based on this.

As a result, the autonomous parking function can be used even in diagonal parking spaces, which was not possible before the update. When remotely moving forward or backward using the smart key, the vehicle recognizes the parking lines and performs alignment assistance.

The software update will be distributed sequentially starting this month for the GV60. The vehicle automatically downloads the improved software while the driver is driving, and after stopping and turning off the power, the vehicle updates itself with the customer’s consent. When the update is complete, the result is also notified to the driver’s smartphone.

A Genesis official said, “We expect that this update, which enhances the advanced driver assistance system functions, will make customers’ daily lives more convenient and safer,” and added, “We will continue to provide wireless software updates so that customers can always experience the latest vehicle functions and quality.”

Genesis also plans to soon distribute a wireless software update for ‘Digital Key 2,’ which allows opening the car door with just a smartphone.

Meanwhile, Genesis is also providing wireless software update activation for the cluster and HUD for G80, GV80, and GV70 vehicles. When these vehicles visit a service center for inspection or consumable replacement, the wireless software update service is introduced and applied to customers who wish to use it.

Vehicles with this service applied can keep their cluster and HUD up to date through wireless software updates.
