KT and Hyundai Rotem Collaborate on 5G Autonomous Driving in Construction and Defense Sectors
Published2019.11.08 09:13HR-Sherpa, capable of multi-purpose autonomous driving
KT and Hyundai Rotem announced on the 5th that they have signed a business agreement for the development of 5G-based autonomous vehicles and control platforms, and will jointly pursue autonomous driving projects for the civilian and military sectors.
Moving forward, the two companies will focus on ▲designing and developing 5G-based autonomous vehicles, ▲developing autonomous driving control platforms and remote operation systems, and ▲identifying markets to expand civil and military autonomous vehicle businesses.
This coming December, the two companies will begin their collaboration with a 5G autonomous driving demonstration project utilizing Hyundai Rotem's multi-purpose unmanned vehicle, the 'HR-Sherpa'. The HR-Sherpa is capable of dependent driving, automatically following a person in front of the vehicle, and features autonomous driving technologies including remote control capabilities.
The '3D Digital Site Management Technology Development Project' being pursued by Hyundai Engineering & Construction is a project to verify the efficiency of tasks such as surveying and logistics using autonomous robots in the Seosan reclaimed land in South Chungcheong Province. KT is examining business possibilities at civil engineering and construction sites by linking its 5G network-based autonomous driving integrated control platform with HR-Sherpa.
Both companies plan to expand their business scope beyond industrial sites into the defense industry, including material transport and surveillance and reconnaissance.
Choi Kang-rim, Senior Vice President and Head of KT Connected Car Business Center, stated, “Based on the business agreement with Hyundai Rotem, we plan to expand the application of 5G autonomous driving technology not only to construction sites but also to the defense industry,” adding, “We will continue to pioneer new mobility markets by expanding cooperation with companies in various industrial sectors.”

[e4ds Tech Day 2026 ⑨] Sim Sang-gyu, Autocrypt CTO: "In the Physical AI Era, Automotive Security Must Extend Beyond the Vehicle"
At e4ds Tech Day 2026, Sim Sang-gyu, CTO of Autocrypt, explained automotive cybersecurity strategies in the era of Physical AI and SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle). Automobiles are evolving as part of an ecosystem connected to AI, cloud, chargers, IoT, and robots, and he emphasized that the scope of security must expand beyond the vehicle interior to the entire connected environment. In particular, AI model tampering, adversarial attacks, OTA updates, and EV charger hacking were identified as major threats. He explained that response measures require zero trust, AI model integrity protection, intrusion detection, Security by Design and Default, and full lifecycle security management, and that proactive security system establishment beyond regulatory compliance is critical for securing future mobility competitiveness.

Practical HIL Construction Strategy for Automotive and Off-Highway Controller Validation
As vehicle E/E architecture transitions to zonal structures and shifts to software-defined vehicles (SDV), the number of controllers (ECUs) requiring validation and software complexity are surging dramatically. Meanwhile, real vehicle testing cannot provide repeated verification under identical conditions and entails lead time and safety concerns. This white paper explains the principles of HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) validation and the structure of the NI platform composed of PXI, SLSC, and VeriStand, and through two actual implementation cases—Camera Record & Replay HIL for In-Cabin Monitoring Controller (ICMU) and Forklift Controller (VCU) HILS—describes how controller-level regression testing becomes possible. Additionally, it explicitly states application boundaries and limitations, such as lack of A2B support.
