(News Focus) Inside 42dot: Hyundai Motor accelerates autonomous driving push with AI data flywheel

Hyundai Motor Group is accelerating its autonomous driving push by building a data flywheel, a continuous cycle of collecting driving data, training AI models, and implementing improvements back into vehicles. At the heart of this push is 42dot, Hyundai's mobility software affiliate, which is developing the Atria AI model to perceive its surroundings and make driving decisions.

The company currently operates around 40 data collection vehicles that gather real-world data across various driving environments and conditions. Hyundai plans to introduce Level 2+ autonomous driving technology developed in collaboration with Nvidia in its first mass-produced software-defined vehicle (SDV) in 2028. This strategy aims to leverage the scale of its global fleet to gain a competitive edge in the fast-evolving autonomous driving industry.
