New Santa Fe Features Loads of Tech
 
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has been awarded a spot on Wards’ 10 Best UX list. The SUV offers driver-assist technologies, connectivity, navigation, voice-activated systems, and intuitive controls, according to Wards. These features are said to make it easier for a driver to interact with the vehicle’s systems and controls. Wards said that the Santa Fe offers “exemplary” UX, including an easy-to-reach center stack with hard buttons, two USB ports in front and two in the second row, and a 360-degree camera view to help get in and out of tight spaces. Wards also highlighted the vehicle’s voice control and head-up display systems.
 
“It's important that we pay tribute to the automakers that are focused on making it easy and enjoyable for consumers to interact with their vehicles,” says Drew Winter, WardsAuto Senior Content Director. “Nobody wants to be frustrated by technologies that seem like a great idea in the lab but turn out to be annoying in the real world.”
 
Roughing It With Connected RVs
 
AT&T has partnered with Airstream to bring 4G LTE connectivity to the Airstream Silver Bullet RV. The Smart RV launches with the 2019 model Airstream Classic travel trailer, and data plans start at $25 per month for 5 gigabytes. For $360, users get one year of unlimited data. Connectivity enables users to stay in touch with family and friends, bring an office along on their next camping trip, or remotely monitor and control temperature and lighting through the Smart Control application.
 
“The Internet of Things is transforming the way we work and play every day,” says Chris Penrose, President, IoT Solutions, AT&T. “We’re making it easier to stay connected and bring the conveniences of home, even while you’re out camping with friends or family.”
 
Airstream President and CEO Bob Wheeler adds, “Digital technology has improved almost every aspect of our lives. Shouldn’t it make camping better, too? We think so. That’s why we’re leading the way with our new Smart Control Technology and connectivity solution, starting with our Airstream Classic travel trailers.”
