○Hyundai Motor to test shuttle service powered by autonomous driving and AI



SEOUL -- South Korea's Hyundai auto group will launch a two-month pilot operation of its "Robo Shuttle" service powered by autonomous driving and artificial intelligence technology in the central city of Sejong as part of a smart city project. The service will be gradually expanded to other regions.

The demand-responsive, high-occupancy vehicle service will begin on August 9 along a 6.1-kilometer route with 20 stops in Sejong, using a van applied with a range of level 4 self-driving technologies, the auto group said, adding the vehicle can perceive its surroundings, make decisions, and control itself, requiring minimal intervention from a safety driver.

The vehicle has obtained a temporary operation permit of level 3 autonomous driving. Unlike autonomous levels 1, 2, and 3 that assist human drivers to conveniently reach their destinations, level 4 is fully autonomous. A level 4 self-driving vehicle does not require a driver or a steering wheel. It navigates around places by communicating with on-road structures such as traffic lights and pedestrian crossings and other vehicles.
