Samsung's ongoing efforts in self-driving technologies got a boost yesterday after the Land Ministry in South Korea granted the company an approval to test its self-driving car on public roads.
According to The Investor, Samsung is planning to develop advanced sensors and computer modules supported by artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies to enhance self-driving capabilities in almost all conditions including severe weather. Samsung's self-driving car is stated to be a commercialized Hyundai vehicle equipped with cameras and sensors.
Since Samsung has indicated that it has no interest in building cars, it is possible that the company will market itself as a component and solution provider for car companies. Samsung has already partnered with German automobile maker Audio to use its Exynos processors for the latter's next generation In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems.
The latest development came weeks after Apple got approval from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to test its autonomous driving technology on public roads.
