MDI "Otomos Participates in Seoul National University 'Autonomous Driving Mobility Service Pilot Project'"
[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] AUTOMOS, a subsidiary of MDE specializing in autonomous driving platforms, announced on the 15th that it is successfully carrying out the "Autonomous Driving Mobility Service Pilot Project," one of the Korean New Deal projects supported by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, in collaboration with Seoul National University and LG Uplus.
Since October, Seoul National University has been operating the autonomous driving late-night shuttle service "Majung" in Baegot New Town, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, during late-night hours when public transportation such as buses is not operating smoothly.
Public transportation between Oido Station and Baegot New Town has caused significant inconvenience to residents due to short operating hours and long intervals between services. Through the "Majung" service, it is expected to eliminate public transportation blind spots, place stops within walking distance of residential areas, and ensure driving stability, thereby enhancing citizen safety and convenience.
Additionally, this pilot project, led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, provides subsidies totaling 7 billion KRW over two years (3 billion KRW in the first year and 4 billion KRW in the second year) for mobility projects based on autonomous vehicles. The project is meaningful in that it offers autonomous driving services that citizens can directly experience while providing private companies with opportunities for autonomous driving demonstrations.
