Genesis introduced the second-generation G90 a little over a year ago, and while it may seem a facelift is already on the way, that's not the case. Instead, the prototype wears camouflage at the front to hide sensors necessary for an upcoming major feature – LiDAR. An acronym for "light detection and ranging" or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging," the new hardware will enable the fullsize sedan to have a level 3 autonomous driving system.
While the Lotus Eletre and Volvo EX90 electric SUVs from Geely have the sensors mounted on the roof, Hyundai's luxury brand will be doing things differently. Genesis will mount them on the large grille, above two of the parking sensors. In case you don't see the bulges, we've marked them out in one of the attached spy shots. It remains to be seen how obtrusive they will be once the disguise is going to be removed, possibly in the coming months.
