Hosted by the Self-Driving Technology Development Innovation Project (KADIF), the 'Performance Sharing Meeting for the First Stage of the Self-Driving Technology Development Innovation Project' was designed to share the achievements of national R&D projects by ministries and to provide a venue for global cooperation for the development of self-driving technology. Companies that lead self-driving in Korea, such as LG Electronics, SK Telecom, and Kakao Mobility, will participate to unveil self-driving technologies currently being studied, and global self-driving companies such as AWS and Baidu will also announce them.
This project is a national R&D project jointly promoted by four ministries, including the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the National Police Agency, and aims to lay the foundation for commercialization of convergent Level 4+ autonomous vehicles by 2027, with 9,000 researchers from about 600 research institutes participating by 2024.
Accordingly, while sharing the research results so far, a theme hall has been prepared for the general public, such as children and students, to experience autonomous driving technology. About 200 companies and institutions will participate in the exhibition to showcase key electrical components and solutions for autonomous driving at booths with themes such as transportation infrastructure, AI, DATA, communication, vehicle platforms, computing, sensors, parts, simulations, and ecosystems.
In addition, you can experience "Value Tayo," a real-time demand-response public transport mobility service for level 4 autonomous driving. This service is a self-driving shuttle pilot service without a driver's seat organized by the Korea Institute of Construction and Technology, and the vehicle will be equipped with self-driving AI, which is being developed by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), and will be serviced at Living Lab in Hwaseong City from 2026. This experience will be operated 10 times a day (eight people per ride) from April 4th (Thursday) to 6th (Sun) at the indoor track in Hall 5 of the first exhibition hall through on-site reservation.
In addition, the 'Global Autonomous Driving Forum' will be held on April 5 (Saturday) as part of the performance sharing meeting. The forum will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the conference room on the third floor of KINTEX's first exhibition hall, where domestic and foreign experts gather to share the latest trends and insights in autonomous driving technology and seek global cooperation.
In the forum, ▲Amazon Web Service (AWS) autonomous driving sector will present "the status of the development of accelerating autonomous vehicles," ▲Fan Zhu, chief engineer of BAIDU in China, will present "Apollo Go: Driving to a New Pioneer," and ▲ Mark Cracknell, PD of CCAV, a self-driving R&D organization in the UK, will present "the development and development of self-driving technology in the UK."
In addition, ▲ Choi Dong-geun, head of the Korea Standards Association, will present the current status and tasks of Korea's autonomous driving technology development under the theme of 'Global Standardization of Future Mobility', ▲ Park Joon-hwan, head of the National Assembly Legislative Research Service, ▲ SK Telecom (SKT) team, Yoo Mi-hee, head of ▲ SK Telecom (SKT), 'Lv.4/4+ Self-Driving Living Lab Service', and ▲ Han Ji-hyung, CEO of Automus A2Z, will present the 'Strategy of Korean Companies to Enter according to the Global Self-Driving Prospects'.
The organizing committee said, "We are pleased to present a theme hall at this event where we can see the technological development of autonomous driving in Korea at a glance through collaboration with the Autonomous Driving Technology Development Innovation Project Group," adding, "The Seoul Mobility Show will be a business platform that provides useful information on autonomous driving to the public in an easy and friendly manner, while providing various opportunities for cooperation to companies and researchers in the autonomous driving field."
Meanwhile, the "2025 Seoul Mobility Show" will be held from April 4 to 13 at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1 in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do. Tickets can be booked at an early bird discount until April 2 through the official website.
