Mobility Cluster - Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle Test Bed
Project Overview
The Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle Test Bed Construction Project is aimed at creating a huge test stage in the Saemangeum area to test the actual traffic environment for the safety and commercialization of autonomous vehicles.
- The project is intended to develop the Saemangeum area into a mecca of related high-tech industries by motivating technological development and accelerating commercialization in related industries.
