Seoul, February 25, 2024 — Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation have announced their partnership with KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) to develop cutting-edge autonomous driving sensors for advanced self-driving cars.
Together, they aim to create an advanced research lab to develop high-performance, compact on-chip sensors and new signal detection technology essential in the highly competitive autonomous driving market.
This new technology has several advantages over existing methods. It produces less signal noise, calculates relative speed with objects, and eliminates interference from external light sources such as sunlight. Therefore, it can provide significant benefits in severe weather conditions.
Autonomous cars are vehicles that can operate without human intervention. They are equipped with sensors that gather information about their surroundings, such as radar sensors that monitor nearby cars, video cameras that detect traffic lights, read road signs, track other vehicles, and look for pedestrians, and Lidar sensors that bounce light pulses off the car’s surroundings to measure distances, detect road edges, and identify lane markings. Ultrasonic sensors located on the wheels detect curbs and other vehicles when parking.
Using complex software that processes all this sensory input, autonomous cars create and maintain a map of their surroundings, plot a path, and send instructions to the car’s actuators, which control acceleration, braking, and steering. The software follows traffic rules and navigates obstacles using hard-coded rules, obstacle avoidance algorithms, predictive modeling, and object recognition.
It’s worth noting that “self-driving” is often used interchangeably with “autonomous.” However, self-driving cars still require a human passenger to be present and ready to take control in some or all situations. On the other hand, fully autonomous vehicles can be self-aware and make independent decisions. However, a fully automated car follows the given instructions and drives itself as ordered. For Example, you may tell it, “Drive me to my office,” and it will take you there.
