– Minister Won Hee-ryong, based on level 4 autonomous driving, will personally take care of it –
□ MOLIT, Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Hyundai Motors joined hands to test level 4 autonomous driving in crowded cities
□ To experience self-driving in everyday life, the service will be released to the public in August at the earliest
□ Leap as a leading nation in future mobility where autonomous driving services become commonplace in 2030
□ Self-driving cars that operate without driver intervention in the middle of downtown, such as Teheran-ro and Gangnam-daero in Gangnam, Seoul, will be trialled, and the service is expected to be released soon so that people can experience autonomous driving in their daily life.
ㅇ Minister of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Won Hee-ryong participated in the “Autonomous Driving Robot Ride Test Start Event” held by Hyundai Motor Company on the 9th at the Hyundai Autoever office building in Gangnam, Seoul to encourage researchers and to test drive the autonomous driving Roboride. plan.
ㅇ Minister Won Hee-ryong and Mayor Oh Se-hoon attended the event to check autonomous driving technology and safety in advance in preparation for the release of services to the general public. We are committed to working together to open the door.
□ This pilot operation, presented in collaboration with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Hyundai Motor Company, is one step closer to Level 4 fully autonomous driving by demonstrating autonomous driving technology in downtown Seoul, Gangnam, the most congested area in the world. expected to go
ㅇ Currently, level 3 technology for autonomous driving on expressways or car-only roads has been commercialized, but level 4 or higher autonomous driving technology is being developed and demonstrated by countries around the world.
ㅇ Korea also plans to start the demonstration of Level 4 technology in Gangnam, Seoul, which is a typical congestion section, and expand it in stages, and commercialize Level 27 fully autonomous driving in '4.

□ Autonomous Driving Roboride plans to provide future mobility services combined with autonomous driving in a way that people can feel in collaboration with Jin Mobility, an AI mobility platform company.
ㅇ After pilot operation, the service will be released free of charge so that anyone can experience it as early as August, and reservations, vehicle calls, route designation, etc. can be made through the mobile application.
ㅇ This self-driving Roboride vehicle can change lanes, turn left/right, and make a U-turn on its own in a road situation where pedestrians and large buses are mixed.
□ The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport has been proactively improving the system, establishing infrastructure, and supporting technology development and demonstration in order to support the creation of autonomous driving mobility services such as Roboride.
ㅇ A temporary operating permit system has been prepared so that autonomous vehicles can run on roads across the country and develop technology. place) has been
□ The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport plans to continuously expand its full support so that people can experience autonomous driving in their daily life.
ㅇ Expand the autonomous driving pilot zone, which currently has seven designated areas, to more than one per city/province by 7, including the Gangnam area of Seoul;
ㅇ In order to use the autonomous driving service anywhere in the country, we plan to promote the transition to a negative system that allows pilot operation in all areas except for specific areas.
□ In addition, the government plans to promote consumer-led mobility innovation by comprehensively implementing consumer-oriented regulatory innovation and expanding support for autonomous driving companies such as research infrastructure.
ㅇ In addition, by building maps with C-ITS infrastructure and precision across the country, autonomous vehicles can be safely driven, and government-wide R&D worth KRW 4 trillion will continue to advance the era of level 1.1 or higher autonomous driving.
□ Minister of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Won Hee-ryong said, “As the Minister of MOLIT, I will take care of self-driving companies in Korea so that they can stand shoulder to shoulder with global big tech companies and cooperate.”
ㅇ Also, he said, “The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport will take the lead so that future mobility, from personal mobility to delivery robots and UAM, as well as autonomous driving, becomes a part of our people’s daily life.”
ㅇ “We will prepare a future mobility roadmap to become a leading country in future mobility in 2030 this summer, and detailed measures for this will be announced sequentially,” he said.
