Samsung has announced its new Samsung Automotive Innovation Fund – a $300 million investment venture that will enable the Korean tech giant to develop connected and autonomous car systems.

Technology giant Samsung has been granted permission by the authorities in South Korea to begin testing self-driving vehicles.

Regenerative braking technology could be making its way to more non-hybrid vehicles.

General Motors has revealed that it has created a version of its RemoteLink smartphone app that will work with the new Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatch.

Hyundai was able to achieve a 45 percent market share in South Korea in 2010, falling well below its target of 52 percent. Luckily, the failure to meet the target thanks to phenomenal growth from the Kia brand, owned by Hyundai and Kia’s new Optima and Sportage.
