LG Innotek will deploy a fleet of sensor-equipped test vehicles on Korean roads to collect real-world data for enhancing self-driving car technologies. The company announced Tuesday that it has started operating data collection vehicles in collaboration with Applied Intuition, a U.S. autonomous driving software firm. The partnership aims to grow the fleet to 20 vehicles by 2028.
Initially, the fleet will concentrate on Seoul, Incheon, and the surrounding Gyeonggi Province, featuring both data collection vehicles and autonomous driving software development vehicles. LG Innotek emphasizes that direct access to road data will aid in refining sensors, which act as the "eyes" of autonomous vehicles, and bolstering its sensor-fusion technology.
These vehicles integrate cameras, radar, and lidar to gather data on road conditions, vehicle movements, object positions, and weather changes. The collected data will be paired with digital twin environments to improve sensors and validate systems.
