Recently, South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport unveiled the "Plan for Promoting Autonomous Driving Demonstration Cities," designating Gwangju as the nation's inaugural city for autonomous driving demonstrations. Previously, despite South Korea's proactive efforts in establishing safety standards for Level 3 autonomous driving and implementing a Level 4 performance certification system, the deployment of relevant vehicles was confined to specific zones, which posed significant constraints. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of South Korea highlighted that, at present, South Korea faces challenges in keeping pace with the technological paradigm centered around "extensive data learning, AI-driven autonomous decision-making, and driving capabilities." Consequently, its global competitiveness trails behind that of China and the United States. The launch of this "city-scale demonstration" initiative will facilitate the testing and validation of autonomous vehicles in genuine traffic scenarios, encompassing commuter routes, residential neighborhoods, urban centers, and nighttime driving conditions.
