South Korea wants half of all cars to be autonomous by 2035

The South Korean government has laid out its road map for the introduction of autonomous cars – and it contains some ambitious targets.

The country’s Mobility Innovation Roadmap was revealed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The first notable deadline is later this year, when the country hopes to become the third in the world to put Level 3 autonomous cars on the road.

Level 3 is defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers as when the car takes control of driving in certain conditions, although a human is required to intervene if required. There is already a Level 3 car in operation in Japan in the shape of the Honda Legend Hybrid, while in Germany, Mercedes’ Drive Pilot can be specified for the S-Class and EQS.

In South Korea, the trailblazer will be the G90 luxury sedan from Hyundai Motor Group’s upmarket Genesis brand, which is slated to go on sale with the Level 3 Highway Driving Pilot by the end of 2022.
