SEOUL, June 9, 2022#hyundaimotorgroup (the Group) announced today it will pilot a #roboride car-hailing service in #gangnam in #seoul, #southkorea, utilizing IONIQ 5 battery #electricvehicles (BEV) with in-house developed level 4 autonomous driving technology. The pilot #roboride will be the first car-hailing service with autonomous driving vehicles to operate in #gangnam, one of the most congested areas in metropolitan #seoul.

For the #pilotservice, the Group has obtained a temporary autonomous driving operation permit from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) of Korea. It will collaborate with Jin Mobility, a Korean startup operating the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered car-hailing mobility platform ‘i.M.’. Jin Mobility will be in charge of operating the two IONIQ 5 #roboride units on its i.M application. The Group also plans to expand the #pilotservice, while further developing autonomous driving technology with consideration for various conditions, such as driving stability. 

“At #hyundaimotorgroup, we are developing level 4 autonomous driving technology based on the internally developed Advanced Driving Support System (ADAS), whose functionally and safety are verified through mass production and successful commercial launch,” said #woongjunjang, Senior Vice President and Head of the Autonomous Driving Center of #hyundaimotorgroup. “We expect this #roboride #pilotservice will be an important inflection point that will enable us to internalize autonomous driving technology.”

“We have been strengthening our capabilities by working on research and development with relevant institutions. Starting with the #roboride #pilotservice in collaboration with #hyundaimotorgroup, we look forward to leading the future mobility scene,” said #leeseongwook, CEO of Jin Mobility. “We will put our utmost effort into creating synergies through this #pilotservice.”

Through this pilot, the Group expects to collect valuable autonomous driving data and plans to further develop the level 4 autonomous driving technology to navigate safely and flexibly in complicated urban environments.

To prepare for such a complicated driving environment, the Group has also worked with #seoul Metropolitan Government to establish a system that can connect traffic signals with autonomous vehicles. It has also gathered copious driving data since 2019 by testing autonomous driving in #gangnam area.

In addition, the Group will provide an in-house developed remote vehicle assist system to ensure safety. The system monitors autonomous driving status, vehicle and route, and supports the trip with remote assist functions, such as changing the lane under circumstances where autonomous driving is not feasible. Based on the level 4 autonomous driving technology, a #roboride vehicle will perceive, make decisions, and control its own driving status, while its safety driver will only intervene under limited conditions.

The #roboride #pilotservice will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., from Monday to Friday, to minimize any possible inconveniences on the road. Up to three passengers can be on a ride, whereas a safety driver will be in the vehicle to respond to any emergencies. The Group plans to operate an initial demonstration service for internally selected personnel, and then expand the #pilotservice targets to general customers in the future.

To commemorate the #pilotservice, #wonheeryong, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of #southkorea, and #ohsehoon, Mayor of #seoul City, became the first customers to test drive the #roboride vehicle.
