LG Innotek has commenced operating a fleet of sensor-equipped autonomous vehicles in South Korea to collect real-world data, aiming to enhance self-driving technologies. The company announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with U.S. autonomous driving software firm Applied Intuition to launch this initiative. The collaboration plans to expand the fleet to 20 vehicles by 2028, initially focusing on Seoul, Incheon, and the neighboring Gyeonggi Province.
The data collection vehicles, equipped with cameras, radar, and lidar sensors, will gather crucial information about road conditions, vehicle movements, object locations, and weather changes. This data will be merged with digital twin environments to improve sensor performance and validate the autonomous driving system. According to LG Innotek, direct access to road data will enable the company to refine the "eyes" of autonomous vehicles—the sensors—and strengthen its sensor-fusion technology, which combines camera imagery with radar measurements.
