[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] HL Clemoove announced on the 27th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for Level 4 autonomous driving technology cooperation with iNavi Systems.

Under this agreement, the two companies will jointly develop ultra-precise positioning technology for auto shuttles operating in Pangyo. These auto shuttles will feature Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities, applying HL Clemoove's high-performance perception sensors such as radar, cameras, and LiDAR, along with iNavi's high-precision maps. The auto shuttles will be introduced in October, with additional operations planned for Songdo, Incheon next year.

iNavi has been building big data related to high-precision maps. The company stated that the map error margin is at the centimeter level. Traffic information such as lane units including road boundaries and center lines, as well as pavement markings, road irregularities, traffic lights, and signs are supported in 3D digital format. HL Clemoove's sensors recognize the environment including people, animals, and vehicles.

Kang Hyung-jin, Vice President of HL Clemoove, said, "Through this technological cooperation, we aim to create a win-win relationship not only for the popularization of Level 4 but also in the fully autonomous driving business." Sung Deuk-young, CEO of iNavi Systems, said, "Through this collaboration, we will accelerate the commercialization era of Level 4 autonomous driving and actively cooperate so that both companies can lead the autonomous driving transportation platform market."
