TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
Hyundai Motor Group and Korea Expressway Corp. will push ahead with demonstrations of next-generation electric vehicle charging technology and physical AI technology using highway infrastructure nationwide. The two sides will jointly verify the on-site applicability of charging technology, robotics, and AI technology by using highways and rest areas as demonstration environments, and will use highway rest areas as hubs for demonstrating next-generation charging technology. They will also link the physical AI technology of startups invested in and discovered by Hyundai Motor Group's open innovation platform ZER01NE with the road safety and maintenance sectors to accumulate field data, verify technology, and pursue joint development of future road technologies.
Hyundai Motor Group and Korea Expressway Corp. will push ahead with demonstrations of next-generation electric vehicle charging technology and physical AI technology using highway infrastructure nationwide. The two sides have begun cooperating to respond to the spread of electrified vehicles, advance highway charging infrastructure, and apply physical AI to road maintenance and management processes.
On the 30th of last month, the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on “Cooperation in Research and Demonstration of Next-Generation Intelligent Charging Infrastructure and Physical AI Technologies Based on Highways” at the Yangjae headquarters of Hyundai Motor and Kia. The signing ceremony was attended by Hyundai Motor Group Executive Vice President and Head of the Future Strategy Division Chung Ho-geun and Korea Expressway Corp. Road Traffic Research Institute President Cho Seong-min, among others.
The two sides plan to jointly verify the on-site applicability of charging technology, robotics, and AI technology by using highways and rest areas nationwide as demonstration environments. To that end, they agreed to use highway rest areas as hubs for demonstrating next-generation charging technologies.
Hyundai Motor Group and Korea Expressway Corp. plan to study intelligent charging systems. They also plan to examine technology performance and operating methods in real-world usage environments.
This cooperation focused on linking the physical AI technology of startups invested in and discovered by Hyundai Motor Group's open innovation platform ZER01NE with the road safety and maintenance sectors. The two sides also agreed to accumulate field data from highway sites and pursue field-based technology verification, while studying ways to improve maintenance efficiency and safety through this effort.
Hyundai Motor Group and Korea Expressway Corp. will also push ahead with the joint development of future road technologies by combining Hyundai Motor Group's mobility and business experience with Korea Expressway Corp.'s road research capabilities. After the signing ceremony, they also held a robot demonstration, during which the robot performed a range of tasks, including watering, security, and delivery. The demonstration was organized to examine the field applicability of physical AI technology.
Hyundai Motor Group Executive Vice President and Head of the Future Strategy Division Chung Ho-geun said that a process of verification in real-world settings is necessary to improve the completeness of robot and mobility technologies. He added that the company will conduct large-scale demonstrations of charging technology and the physical AI technology of startups using Korea Expressway Corp.'s nationwide highway infrastructure.
