Well, researchers are in the process of developing "smart headlights" that prevent this from happening by anticipating the movement and velocity of the drops or flakes and shining into the spaces between them!

Hyundai Hope On Wheels announces 5K run/walk series to benefit pediatric cancer
COSTA MESA, Calif., July 23, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Hope On Wheels® today announced a 2012 5K Run/Walk Series that will travel to three U.S. cities, in a continued effort to raise awareness and research funds for pediatric cancer. After a successful inaugural 5K event in Orange County last year, Hope On Wheels will return to Southern California to launch its 5K series in Irvine, followed by visits to Chicago and Miami as part of its ongoing efforts around National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September. Net proceeds from the Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5K Run/Walk Series will benefit pediatric cancer research programs at local children's hospitals in each of the three cities.
"As an avid runner myself, I am thrilled to roll out our annual 5K Run/Walk series to support the Hope On Wheels mission of finding a cure for childhood cancer," said John Krafcik, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "Cancer claims the lives of far too many young children and impacts far too many families. We look forward to extending our work with our Hyundai dealers as well as our race partner organizations to host and sponsor 5Ks across the nation to further fund research and help end this disease."
Race participants of the Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5K Run/Walk Series can become a part of Team Hyundai Hope On Wheels and join the fight against pediatric cancer by registering online and making a pledge to benefit their local hospital. After registering, both race participants and those wishing simply to contribute to the cause can jump-start their donations by pledging one of six levels.

Through research, 80 percent of those cases can be cured, but that's just not good enough," said Gary Micallef, Chairman, Hyundai Hope On Wheels Foundation and dealer-owner of Hyundai of Everett, in Everett, WA. "As a father and grandfather myself, I can think of no better way for Hope On Wheels to further its efforts in the fight against pediatric cancer than by joining together and running for hope.
Dr. Morris Kletzel, Director of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Laurie Children's Hospital of Chicago said, "We are so pleased to have the support of the Hyundai Hope On Wheels program at our institution. Hyundai and its dealers are doing more than just talking about the importance of pediatric cancer, they are making a difference with funding that is desperately needed in research."

Thank you for the feedback, fans!
"After staring at this page for a while, I realize that most reviewers either love Cerritos Hyundai, or hate it. I dont know WHAT happened with the rest of you, but my experience in buying my first car was perfectly fine. Kashyap Shroff and the manager, Javed were EXTREMELY helpful in getting me the car I wanted ASAP. I guess whichever one of you had a bad experience at Cerritos Hyundai were just talking to the wrong people. If any problems occur while you're here, I HIGHLY recommend talking to the two individuals I named earlier, because I got exactly what i wanted by doing so. I'd also like to add the fact that this car is bloody amazing (my 2012 Hyundai Sonata). I drove to Las Vegas and made it in HALF A TANK on "eco" mode...and I did it all while being the driver of such a beautiful and affordable vehicle. So when it comes down to it, I suppose to each his own..but I'll be one to say that Cerritos Hyundai was helpful and cooperative with me and my Dad while buying my first car." -Sagar

Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
"I was searching for a great deal on a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. I ended up getting an unbelievable deal! Cerritos Hyundai had stepped up and gave me what I wanted for my trade in and the new Elantra was below their cost. It was a painless transaction. I have done a lot of research and there were no dealerships in Orange County that even came close. Kudos to the salesman Jon Haidar. He was extremely helpful and a consummate professional. He was definitely a people, pleasing person. Superb!" -Steve

Deal Includes Training Camp Sponsorship & Branding on Team Practice Jerseys
Costa Mesa, Calif., – June 26, 2012 –The Arizona Cardinals Football Club and Hyundai Motor America have reached agreement on a multi-year deal that establishes Hyundai as a major partner of the club.
Hyundai will become the presenting sponsor of the team's training camp which will be known as "Cardinals Training Camp presented by Hyundai." Hyundai's presence at Training Camp will include vehicle displays, signage, and promotional and hospitality opportunities.
Another highly-visible component of the deal involves the placement of a Hyundai logo patch on Cardinals practice jerseys throughout the year, a first for the team.
"Hyundai Motor America and the Valley Hyundai Dealers are excited about our new partnership with the Arizona Cardinals," said Derrick Hatami, general manager, Western Region, Hyundai Motor America. "We look forward to working with the team to further develop both the Hyundai and Arizona Cardinals brands, and creating a unique experience for Cardinals fans throughout the NFL season."
In addition to traditional marketing elements such as stadium signage, promotional rights, media and tickets, other key deal points include naming rights related to specific aspects of game-day at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Hyundai will receive naming rights on the Hyundai Great Lawn Entertainment Stage. Hyundai plans to activate this area via interactive vehicle displays and fan promotions during pre-game tailgating. It also will receive naming rights to Stadium Gate 1 which will now be called "Hyundai Gate 1".
Hyundai's NFL team sponsorships include partnerships with the Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers.
