The route length will be 6.1 km. The buses will move on autopilot, but under the control of driver-operators who can take over in an extreme situation.
Self-driving shuttles are currently being tested in many countries around the world. But unlike most similar buses, Hyundai has produced a full-fledged minibus. The Hyundai H350 minibus was used as the base.
To ride in the self-driving bus, you need to install a special mobile app. It will determine the passenger's location, tell which stop is closest, and plot a route to it.
In the future, the RoboShuttle project is planned to be launched in other cities. In addition, self-driving minibuses will serve employees of the Hyundai-Kia research center in Namyang.
