Samsung is the latest technology company dabbling in the world of autonomous vehicles and has been granted approval to test self-driving cars on the streets of South Korea.
According to The Korea Herald, Samsung was given the go-ahead by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and intends develop a number of sensors and computer modules with artificial intelligence and deep-learning technologies.
Very few details about Samsung’s first self-driving prototype are known but local media says that it is a Hyundai that has been equipped with cameras and sensors from Samsung Electronics.
As with Apple, Samsung doesn’t intend on launching a standalone autonomous vehicle and will instead just develop the technologies needed to bring self-driving vehicles to the masses.
