I drove a new Kia as a rental... It just uses Google Auto/Apple equivalent, and just uses Google Maps, no? Or do they also have their own maps app?

I drive in a very populous urban area, and the Google Maps/Auto speed limit data is often inaccurate.
Hyundai has a "camera speed limit recognition" system, which can identify road signs and recognise what speed they indicate. That's all well and good, except when it picks up a sign for an off-ramp and thinks it applies to you, or when you pass a large truck/bus with a speed limit sign on the back of it and thinks that's the new speed limit.
On every journey of over 2km, it gets something wrong and sounds a warning tone at you that can't be turned off.
It also reads car park speed signs, which are typically "5", so you often hear a "bong bong bong bong" warning from the car in a car park.
Some (like the Hyundai) have their own in-built maps and speed limit data (not very accurate in Australia). They can even warn about traffic build-ups because they're "connected".
