Joint development and commercialization of standard platforms and autonomous driving control technologies with TIAA

The Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the China Telematics Industry Application Alliance (TIAA) at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing, China, to develop vehicle communication technology and related standard platforms essential for the operation of autonomous vehicles.

TIAA is a nationwide industrial organization responsible for tasks such as developing technologies related to autonomous vehicles in China and proposing technical standards. It consists of approximately 500 member companies across six major technology sectors: automobiles, electronics, software, telecommunications, the internet, and information services. Under its umbrella, it has 35 working groups covering areas such as autonomous driving and smart cars, as well as three divisional federations and two regional organizations.

Through cooperation, the two organizations will pursue: △development of Internet of Vehicle (IoV) communication technologies and standards for connected services; △joint cooperation regarding Chinese technical standards for autonomous vehicles, such as mutual certification of Korea-China autonomous driving testbed standard platforms; and △joint development and commercialization of AI-based autonomous driving control technologies.

To this end, there are plans to establish a joint research platform in the pilot cities of Korea and China (Ulsan and Changchun) to promote technological cooperation and joint standards for advanced products and services.

KETI President Park Cheong-won stated, “Through joint responses such as the development of autonomous vehicle technology standards and support for mutual certification between Korea and China, we will lower barriers for the domestic industry to enter China, enhance industrial competitiveness, and contribute to leading international standardization.”
