[K-MOVE] Self-driving Truck

As soon as a driver gets on the express highway with his 40-ton truck, he pushes the auto pilot button on.

The driver takes his hands off the steering wheel and watches the traffic situation.

He also has lunch and drinks tea in the vehicle.

This is a driving test of Hyundai Motor Company’s autonomous trailer truck on a domestic highway.

The autonomous driving demonstration is conducted at level 3 autonomy out of the five-level system.

After one-hour drive from the city of Uiwang in Gyeonggi Province at a speed of 40 km/h, the truck completed the test along the planned route while performing a complete halt and accelerating.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) issued a temporary autonomous driving license for the first time to a heavy-duty truck.

However, the driver must intervene in dangero

us situations at intersections and other emergency cases.
