Roboshuttle pilot service to commence in Pangyo area starting the 29th of this month
AI-based demand-responsive mobility service 'Shucle' integrated with Level 4 autonomous vehicles

Hyundai Motor showcases a roboshuttle service combining autonomous driving and AI technology in Pangyo.

Hyundai Motor announced on the 29th (Thursday) that it will launch a roboshuttle pilot service combining autonomous driving and artificial intelligence technology in Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province.

Roboshuttle is a compound word combining robot and shuttle, referring to multi-passenger mobility with autonomous driving technology applied, and the pilot service will utilize vehicles equipped with Level 4 autonomous driving technology.

Hyundai Motor will deploy two autonomous vehicles modified from the Staria, a large multi-purpose vehicle, in the roboshuttle pilot service and provide the service by integrating the AI-based demand-responsive mobility service 'Shucle'.

Hyundai Motor's roboshuttle will operate in a designated area with a radius of approximately 540m centered on Pangyo Techno 3 intersection, and the pilot service will be operated in a limited manner targeting selected stakeholders and employees.

Through this, the company will gather feedback on technology and service, and based on the collected opinions, will proceed with improvements and expand the service to general customers.

Jang Woong-jun, Executive Vice President of Hyundai Motor's Autonomous Driving Business Division, stated, "We are conducting demonstration of various autonomous driving services such as roboshuttle and roboride based on our independently developed autonomous driving technology," adding "We will continue technology development so that everyone can move safely and conveniently even in increasingly complex environments."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor signed a memorandum of understanding with Gyeonggi Province in June last year for "eco-friendly vehicle infrastructure establishment and expansion of future mobility adoption," cooperated in building traffic signal infrastructure to respond to various traffic situations in urban areas, and has provided roboshuttle service through the construction of autonomous driving testbeds in the Sejong area and Namyang Technical Research Institute.
