去年，现代展示了其具有 4 级自动驾驶能力的自动 Ioniq 5，今天作为在韩国首尔开放的无人驾驶叫车服务的一部分。该市市长和另一名官员是第一批 RoboRide 乘客，他们被带到江南区的一条道路，因为这是目前唯一提供该服务的线路。

然而，与美国已经开始提供完全无人驾驶不同，现代的这些 RoboRides 将始终配备一名安全驾驶员。制造商没有提及何时可能不再需要安全驾驶员，但它确实表示车辆最多可容纳三名乘客，他们将首先为公司员工提供乘车服务。

在自动驾驶Ioniq 5中召唤 RoboRide将通过名为 iM 的专用应用程序完成，其功能与Waymo或Cruise的应用程序非常相似。它将依赖于 iM 平台背后的初创公司 Jin Mobility 的人工智能。

现代汽车集团高级副总裁兼自动驾驶中心负责人 Woongjun Jang 表示，

现代汽车集团正在开发基于内部开发的高级驾驶辅助系统（ADAS）的4级自动驾驶技术，其功能和安全性已通过量产和成功的商业发布得到验证。我们预计这项 RoboRide 试点服务将成为一个重要的转折点，使我们能够内化自动驾驶技术。

就像在自动驾驶叫车业务中运营的其他公司（其中并非所有公司都是汽车制造商）一样，现代表示，从这一切中获得的最大收益是让这些系统运行得足够好，以便最终将它们整合到其量产车辆中。

该服务仅在一个地区，该地区的红绿灯变得智能，以便可以与自我驾驶车辆沟通。这个过程始于 2019 年，从那时起，制造商一直在江南测试其自动驾驶技术，收集它所描述的“大量数据”。

Hyundai Launches Driverless Ride Hailing Service In Korea

The manufacturer is using the Level 4 autonomous Ioniq 5 equipped for its RoboRide service opened in Seoul’s Gangnam district.

Last year Hyundai showed off its autonomous Ioniq 5 capable of Level 4 self-driving and now it is being put to use as part of a driverless ride hailing service opened today in Seoul, South Korea. The city’s mayor and another official were the first RoboRide passengers as they were taken along a route in the Gangnam district, the only one where the service is currently being offered.

However, unlike similar services in America that have already started offering completely driverless rides, these RoboRides from Hyundai will always have a safety driver on board. The manufacturer doesn’t mention when it might stop requiring a safety driver, but it does say vehicles will accommodate up to three passengers and they will first offer rides to company employees.

Hailing a RoboRide in an autonomous Ioniq 5 will be done through a dedicated app called i.M that will function much like the ones from Waymo or Cruise. It will rely on artificial intelligence from startup Jin Mobility, the company behind the i.M platform.

 

According to Woongjun Jang Senior Vice President and Head of the Autonomous Driving Center of Hyundai Motor Group,

At Hyundai Motor Group, we are developing level 4 autonomous driving technology based on the internally developed Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), whose functionality and safety are verified through mass production and successful commercial launch. We expect this RoboRide pilot service will be an important inflection point that will enable us to internalize autonomous driving technology.

Just like other companies (of which not all are carmakers) operating in the autonomous ride hailing business, Hyundai says its biggest gain from all of this is getting these systems to work well enough so that it could eventually integrate them into its production vehicle.

The reason the service only works in one district (out of twenty five that make up the city) is because Hyundai had to collaborate with the local government in order to get make the traffic lights in the area smart so that they can communicate with self-driving vehicles. This process began in 2019 and since then the manufacturer has been testing its autonomous tech in Gangnam, gathering what it describes as “copious data.”
