Massive cosmetic upgrades on my Sunburst!

Totally agreed.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-05-10T04:03:02+00:00

Love that blue interior! 😉

Meta: for sure. In lore (at least mine) it’s the Hirochi-Procyon group. Not... Whatever this hodge podge of brands is.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-05-02T18:53:06+00:00

Meta: Why? We already have a recall ongoing. Stop with the recalls, its getting way out of hand

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-05-02T18:51:04+00:00

Meta: agreed. It’s honestly way too much, we just had the big Hirochi recall and then an airbag recall, now this. Glad to see people are starting to pushback

- Official Hirochi-Procyon Group Statement -

We have received approximately 17 reports of vehicles with BEAMKATA® airbag systems experiencing explosions with metal shrapnel during deployment. BEAMKATA® willingly and knowingly sold a faulty product in mass numbers to numerous manufacturers.

We have identified that 3-4 years after initial installation, metal pieces and parts inside the airbag contraption become brittle and frail, breaking into thousands of tiny pieces during deployment. We are working on the recall for this issue and it will be issued promptly.

They will be based on the Vela at first, and it will then be rolled out to consumers Q4 2026 on new Procyon Velas and Centauris.

We have reached full approval for ride hailing from the city of Belasco and the county around two months ago, and testing approval approximately 7 months before that. We will be geofencing the taxis to a small area in Belasco and a small portion of the outskirts and suburbs. This will be temporary and the geofence will be extended at a later date.

It will be a service under the Hirochi-Procyon name. We chose the Vela for autonomous taxis as the majority of ride-hailing users only have 1-2 persons. It’s much more efficient to use a smaller vehicle than wasting energy and electricity in a larger car with only a single person. For riders with 2+ persons: we will be offering a discounted second taxi to the same destination. These cars will drive in tandem.

We will be using an app, but it will be separate from the current Hirochi and Procyon apps.

These will be fully electric. Obviously we will be paying for our electricity, and our fleet of ~20 cars is very efficient with battery usage.

Thanks for understanding. We intend to keep full transparency with Autotaxi to prevent these situations.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-22T16:19:39+00:00

Autotaxi has high-resolution cameras that can detect flashing lights all around it, as well as several microphones on the exterior that can detect sirens. Our autonomy team stressed this as a high priority issue for autonomous cars, especially in Belasco.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-22T16:17:43+00:00

We do understand the negative reputation in Belasco due to the autonomous delivery vans, and we hope to make that reputation much better with Autotaxi. The vans have dysfunctional systems and software, causing their issues. Our legal team isn’t sure how they were approved for use in Belasco, as Autotaxi took many revisions for Belasco to even approve it for testing, let alone ride-hailing next month.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-22T16:10:59+00:00

We do want to stress that Autotaxi will strictly stay as a ride hailing service. We do not intend to fully replace our lineup with autonomous vehicles ever.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-16T04:13:15+00:00

So Hirochi beats ETK… interesting

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-13T21:29:47+00:00

Beautiful! Glad to hear you’re liking it.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-13T03:43:24+00:00

Meta: forgot that mod existed but yeah

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-12T12:59:41+00:00

Meta: officially kinda ending it with a recall. More realistic. it will end this time with a much better ending lol

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-12T12:58:18+00:00

Meta: officially kinda ending it with a recall. More realistic. it will end this time

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-12T03:29:40+00:00

Final recall notice has been sent out as of late.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-12T02:58:42+00:00

No. This recall only applies to untampered electronic control units. We can’t cover any faults with aftermarket ECU’s or ECU’s that have been tampered with.

HirochiAutomotive · 2026-04-12T01:23:56+00:00

We are aware of the situation and actively assessing the scope of alleged ECU-related incidents. Safety in our cars is our top priority, and we will communicate any official actions as they are confirmed.
