Highlighting Autonomous Driving Semiconductor Industry Trends and Key Technologies
NVIDIA, Arm, Intel, KAIST, and others are expected to participate in large numbers.
Sun Moon University prepares to establish 'Automotive Semiconductor Convergence Graduate School'

A venue will be provided to shed light on future vehicle technology through a multifaceted exploration of industry trends, future key technologies, and the development environment of autonomous driving.

Sun Moon University will hold an ' Autonomous Vehicle Semiconductor Workshop ' on October 18 at Coex Conference Room 300 and share autonomous vehicle semiconductor technology through experts and institutions.

This workshop, jointly organized by Sun Moon University and e4ds, is expected to be of great help in understanding electric vehicle and autonomous driving technologies and setting research and development directions.

The workshop consisted of four sessions.

The Plenary session, chaired by Professor Oh In-yeol, was themed 'Technology Trends in Autonomous Vehicle Semiconductors' and featured presentations by △Professor Choi Ki-chang of Seoul National University on 'Exploring the Promotion of the System Semiconductor Industry and Automotive Semiconductors' and △Center Director Lee Seung-hwan of the Korea Automotive Research Institute on 'Automotive Semiconductor Development Trends and Choi Kyu-hoon, CEO of Threichi Solution Co., Ltd., and Oh Hyun-seo, a specialist at ETRI, will also speak as speakers while presenting the 'Domestic Status'.

In Session 1, chaired by Professor Kim Tae-sung, under the theme of 'Autonomous Driving System Semiconductor Technology,' NVIDIA Senior Vice President Byun Chang-won, Arm's Sung-hoon Jung, and Intel's Director Jung-seok Kang will present on their respective companies' autonomous driving system solutions.

In Session 2, chaired by Professor Yeo Hong-gu, under the theme of 'Autonomous Driving Sensor Semiconductor Technology,' Professor Oh In-yeol of Sun Moon University will present on 'High Value-added Autonomous Driving Automotive Sensor Semiconductors,' while Professor Won Jong-hoon of Inha University, Professor Park Hyo-hoon of KAIST, and Professor Song In-hyuk of the University of Texas will each present on 'Autonomous Driving Automotive Sensor Semiconductor Technology.'

Finally, the third session, chaired by Professor Jin-mook Kim, is themed 'Autonomous Driving Solutions and Development Environments,' and Min-hyuk Son, Managing Director of AVL, Yun-beom Baek, Head of WeGo Robotics Research Institute, and Seong-min Heo, CEO of Xytron, are scheduled to give presentations on the topic.

Meanwhile, Sun Moon University places significance on holding this workshop as it prepares to establish the 'Automotive Semiconductor Convergence Graduate School'.

Song Jae-kyung, Dean of the Graduate School at Sun Moon University, said, “I hope that hosting the ‘Autonomous Vehicle Semiconductor Workshop’ will lead to the successful establishment of a graduate school that can further foster hope for humanity in the face of climate change,” adding, “I hope that the discussions on autonomous vehicle semiconductor technology will deepen through the prepared sessions.”
