SEOUL, Sept. 29 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Motor Co. on Thursday introduced a self-driving, artificial intelligence (AI)-based robot shuttle for testing in Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province.
The trial implements Level-4 autonomous driving technology, which doesn’t require a driver.
The carmaker is offering the shuttle service by remodeling two Solati minivans and merging them with Shucle, a demand-responsive mobility service.
Shucle receives hails from customers and automatically deploys the self-driving vehicles to the nearest shuttle station via the optimum route, calculated through an AI algorithm.
Pangyo Zero City is home to a number of IT firms and startups as has been designated as a testing zone for autonomous driving vehicles.
