The Korean government announced on Monday plans to significantly broaden autonomous driving artificial intelligence (AI) pilot projects and bolster assistance for deep-tech startups. The Ministry of Science and ICT convened a meeting, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Science and ICT Minister Bae Kyung-hoon, to discuss measures aimed at speeding up the commercialization of autonomous driving AI and backing deep-tech ventures.
As part of the autonomous driving strategy, the government intends to broaden pilot projects initiated in Gwangju to encompass additional regions and larger-scale operations. This shift aims to gather substantial amounts of driving data to enhance the efficiency and adaptability of locally developed autonomous driving AI as it faces mounting competition from the United States and China.
Additionally, the government aims to establish a cooperative model incorporating transport companies, labor unions, autonomous driving firms, and platform operators to manage any potential conflicts that may arise during the technology's commercialization.
