A long anticipated revolutionary change to travel is the advent of the autonomous (also known as self-driving or auto pilot) vehicle.

Korea – a Developed Automotive Country.
Korea has developed a strong automotive industry. No one
would have believed that Korea could be a successful in the automobile business
back in the 1980s. Now Korea is known for vehicle manufacturing and Hyundai Motors
was ranked 6th by brand value in the automobile industry by
Interbrand in 2019.
In 2015, when vehicle and parts production decreased with
the economic slowdown, Korea started to look to the future and advance
technology for future cars such as electric, fuel cell, and self-driving. By 2018,
the government announced support for the development of self-driving vehicles. In
October 2019, the government also announced that Korea would be the first to
establish the infrastructure for autonomous cars with advance policies, networks,
roads, traffic control and detailed virtual map by 2027. It promised support to localize companies and
technology for the infrastructure’s core components
New Automobile Era
There are other considerations for the upcoming
self-driving vehicle era. There are various factors that must be developed to achieve
a comprehensive self-driving vehicle ecosystem. Electric vehicles, auto pilot
software and information sharing platforms are some of the major components
that must be developed.
The potential of the Korea autonomous vehicle industry
still needs development in software and investment in high-tech technicians. On
the other hand, there are already in play plans related to vehicle development,
ICT industry and transportation infrastructure which are considered Korea's strong
suit.
Market Size
According to an estimate by KPMG, the domestic self-driving
vehicle market in 2020 was KRW 150 billion. The annual expected growth rate is
40% and by 2035 it is estimated that the market will reach KRW 23 trillion.
This market not only includes the vehicle, but also advance roads, object
recognition technology, edge analytics and other industries which will directly
affect the self-driving vehicle market.
The upcoming market for automobiles will change dramatically and it will require more than just the effort of major vehicle production companies to maintain the current market. The government will need to provide advanced roads and infrastructure while platform companies need to keep information flow ongoing. The technology for sensors, reactors and AI software is another crucial factor. Korea is preparing to be challenged by unknown obstacles ahead.
