Hyundai Blue Link
I searched this one and found no specific info.
Hyundai is gonna kick some serious @$$ with this one:
Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) and Assistance - Provides immediate assistance when an accident occurs and an airbag is deployed. In this event, an ACN signal, containing customer and location information, will automatically be transmitted to the response center. Upon receipt of the signal, a response specialist will attempt to establish voice communications with the vehicle occupants and forward any pertinent information to emergency services.
Vehicle Immobilization - Used with Stolen Vehicle Recovery, this enables law enforcement to send a signal to the vehicle which immobilizes the engine management system, thus preventing startup. This capability is only valid when the ignition is off, but the command can be saved by the engine ECU for later immobilization if the vehicle is on or in motion at the time of signal transmission.

Blue Link Assurance package:
Automatic Crash Notification (ACN) and Assistance - Provides immediate assistance when an accident occurs and an airbag is deployed. In this event, an ACN signal, containing customer and location information, will automatically be transmitted to the response center. Upon receipt of the signal, a response specialist will attempt to establish voice communications with the vehicle occupants and forward any pertinent information to emergency services.
SOS Emergency Assistance - Customers request emergency 911 assistance by pressing the dedicated SOS button in the vehicle. This action transmits vehicle information and location to specially-trained response specialists, who assist in coordinating the dispatch of appropriate emergency assistance to the customer. The response specialist remains on the line with the customer until advised assistance has arrived.
Enhanced Roadside Assistance - Enables customers to contact Roadside Assistance via a single in-vehicle button-press. Vehicle information (including location) is automatically transmitted to a response center, enabling the specialist to dispatch assistance more quickly and efficiently for vehicle assistance and retrieval.
Blue Link Essentials package:
Remote Access:
Remote Door Lock/Unlock - Enables locking or unlocking vehicle doors via a toll-free number, owner's website, or mobile phone application.
Remote Horn and Lights - Enables activating the horn and/or lights via a toll-free number, owner's website, or mobile phone application.
Panic Notification - Notifies customers when the panic button on their vehicle key fob has been activated, signifying when a family member or other vehicle occupant may be in danger. Notifications are configured online and occur via email or text message.
Remote Vehicle Start - Enables customers to start the vehicle via owner's website or tollfree number, or mobile phone application.
Convenience:
Alarm Notification - Notifies customers when and where the vehicle alert is activated via a text message, email or an automated phone call.
Quick Tips – Provides quick reference assistance for primary vehicle feature location and function.
Location Sharing - Enables sending vehicle location to select friends and members of social networking sites, including Facebook - directly from the vehicle.
Voice Text Messaging – Enables hands-free text messaging to SMS text recipients, including the ability to initiate text messages, rather than only respond to messages, as with some competitive systems.
Vehicle Self Diagnostics:
Automated Diagnostic Trouble Code Notification - Provides explanation and repair assistance using vehicle data and off-board diagnosis capabilities to better inform the customer of vehicle trouble alerts. A combination of in-vehicle display alerts and guided voice messages provides customers with additional instructions (information also sent to the customer's preferred dealer to assist with the repair process).
Maintenance Alert - Notifies customers via website, email or SMS message that an upcoming service is due at various thresholds leading up to the event. Configured online, the alerts explain what is included in particular maintenance intervals.
Recall Advisor - Provides all pertinent recall information should a recall be initiated.
Web Vehicle Diagnostics - Provides a report of vehicle diagnostics, eco-coach performance and other important information in a monthly email report and web page update, starting 30 days after registering with the Blue Link service.
Theft Protection:
Stolen Vehicle Recovery - In the event a customer's vehicle is reported stolen (and a stolen vehicle report has been filed with the appropriate police department), the response center can provide assistance to the police in an attempt to recover the vehicle.
Stolen Vehicle Slowdown - Used with Stolen Vehicle Recovery, this enables law enforcement to gradually reduce the engine power of the vehicle, thus slowing it down to safe levels. A warning will be transmitted to the driver prior to the slowdown procedure.
Vehicle Immobilization - Used with Stolen Vehicle Recovery, this enables law enforcement to send a signal to the vehicle which immobilizes the engine management system, thus preventing startup. This capability is only valid when the ignition is off, but the command can be saved by the engine ECU for later immobilization if the vehicle is on or in motion at the time of signal transmission.
Safeguard:
Valet Alert - Enables alert via text message or automated phone message when the customer’s vehicle moves beyond a prescribed region.
Geofence - Enables monitoring vehicle movement in and out of pre-defined regions configured on the owner’s website. When the vehicle enters or leaves a designated region, the customer is notified by email, text message or automated phone message.
Speed Alert - Notifies the customer via email, text message or automated phone message when their vehicle exceeds the specified speed threshold established on the owner's website. High value for parents of teen drivers and fleet customers.
Curfew Alert - Notifies owners if the vehicle is being used outside a pre-determined time interval. Alerts are configured online and sent via text message and/or automated phone message.
Blue Link Guidance package:
TBT (Turn-by-turn) Navigation Service - Turn-by-turn navigation guidance provided for downloaded Points of Interest. Both visual and audio guidance is provided.
POI Web Search by advanced voice recognition system and download - Enables Point-of-Interest searches using an automated voice system. Results can be downloaded to the vehicle navigation system. Live operators provide additional support, if needed.
Daily Route Guidance with Traffic Condition - Enables customers to pre-define several routes to a common destination and receive a regularly-scheduled traffic alert for traffic delays along those routes. Results include flow and incident data, along with "Fastest Route" recommendation.
Traffic - Provides traffic information surrounding the customer's vehicle and in the nearby area, based on preferences established using the owner’s website.
Gas Station Locations and Gas Prices - Locates gas stations by price, brand or fuel type from the vehicle. Results are played back via automated voice, and can be downloaded to the vehicle’s navigation system.
Eco-Coach - Tracks the customer's driving performance habits (MPG and CO2 emissions) on a continual and historical basis. Results and environmentally responsible driving recommendations are provided on the owner’s website.
Restaurant Ratings – Provides restaurant ratings for local restaurants with address download for turn-by-turn navigation or onboard navigation.
Weather - Provides weather forecasts and alerts for the immediate area or for customer defined locations within the owner website. Alerts also appear during navigation routing.

When they invented Vtec which was copied by every self respecting engine manufacturer in the world.
Shouldn't this read more like.....

It's cool, but I think every manufacturer is going to have stuff like this very soon. The onstar app for android and iOS I'm sure got them all thinking. I do very much like that hyundais system give the customer the OBD code via e-mail, kinda makes that $100 code reading app worthless if the car can just tell you itself.

Instead of squinting, get your glasses and re-look at your question...

I said innovation LIKE THIS. VTEC, like you just stated, is nothing like this.
There is no answer to my initial question because Honda has never done anything innovative like this. The comparison to Honda in the first place was
If you realized it then you know you didn't answer my question.

You said innovative which basically means ground breaking or new. This hyundai tech really isn't ground breaking, it's a revamped version of Onstar. This is tyically Hyundai's MO, they take something someone else has done and the modify it.

I'll agree that they seem to copy, but I think they really take the good parts of many manufacturers, and expand on the basic concepts. It's not like there are carbon copies made of anyone's products.

So, if you opt out of these features altogether, then get into an accident, they'll just stand there and watch?
Nice.
I could have a ball with this.......
On aircraft:
Ladies and gentleman in first class - please pay attention as the flight crew brief you on the use of all the safety features.
For the rest of you, try and hang on as best you can if anything happens.
Nice.

Bought a hyundai sonata over 5 years ago and my wife a tucson (same time) and we have had great experiences with the cars/service.
My only concern with technology in cars is it will eventually lead to them knowing everything you've done, and could be a way for them to force you to conduct all "recommended" scheduled services/maintenance or risk potential warranty void. Don't really care for the big brother concept in something I own.

If you dont pay for the service, you get no service. Accident? They won't do anything for you if you didn't pay. I see nothing wrong with that.

I had OnStar in my 2006 RL and in the CTS-V. For my wife's peace of mind (she worries about me all the time), it was worth paying the money. For the V, the feature I use the most is uploading directions Google Maps to the car. The Ignition Block and Stolen Vehicle Slowdown features are potentially useful.
Can't do those in the RL because of the earlier OnStar version, but basic notification on crashing the car and remote unlocking are always a good thing.
