Mando-Unity Sign Agreement to Establish Virtual Reality-Based Autonomous Driving Development Environment

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Mando announced on the 6th that it signed a business agreement with Unity on the 27th of last month to establish a 'virtual reality (VR)-based autonomous driving development environment.' Unity is a global company leading the real-time 3D development platform.

Since 2018, Mando and Unity have been verifying autonomous driving scenarios in a 3D VR environment using front cameras. VR enables verification not only of object recognition such as vehicles and pedestrians but also environmental conditions like weather.

Under this agreement, the two companies plan to expand the scope of collaboration to radar, LiDAR, surround cameras, and more, establishing a VR verification development environment for all products related to autonomous driving perception. The verification scope will be expanded to cover all areas including autonomous driving perception, judgment, and control.

Kang Hyung-jin, head of Mando's Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) R&D Center, said, "There are limitations to verifying all autonomous driving scenarios through actual driving," adding, "We will do our best to build a high-quality 3D autonomous driving data verification environment together with Unity to advance artificial intelligence technology."
