La Corea del Sud dimostra la guida autonoma senza deviazioni; il Baden-Württemberg cerca di trarre conoscenza da questo approccio
Al centro di Seoul, in Corea del Sud, si trova il polo AI Hub, un enorme hub di startup dedicato all'intelligenza artificiale, alla guida autonoma e al riciclaggio delle batterie per auto. Questa settimana, il Ministro dei Trasporti Winfried Hermann del Baden-Württemberg, in Germania, ha guidato una delegazione al polo AI Hub come parte del suo ultimo grande viaggio in carica.
La visita avviene in un momento politicamente turbolento in Corea, con il Presidente Yoon Suk-yeol che ha dichiarato la legge marziale, è stato impeached dal parlamento e si trova attualmente in una crisi costituzionale. despite the unrest, the delegation pressed on, facing traffic delays due to protests by supporters and opponents of the conservative president.
One of the key focuses of the visit was autonomous driving. South Korea, unlike Japan, adopts a "fast, fast" mindset towards testing and learning from experiences. This approach is evident in the country's roads, where automated traffic jam assistants and braking systems are already in operation by car manufacturers like Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. An "AI City" is planned by 2018, where everything related to autonomous driving will be tested.
Kuersat Katal, a startup testing at the AI Hub, aims to collect as many test data as possible to learn from the experiences. Meanwhile, Sung-Jin Choi, CEO of the startup Poen, is making strides in battery recycling. Choi is replacing defective parts of car batteries instead of completely exchanging or scrapping them, reducing costs by 20-30%. Poen is growing dynamically, offering refurbished batteries for various applications.
The cooperation between Poen and the Reutlingen company Prittel is leading to a battery factory "near Stuttgart". Poen is also working with Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai and Kia) in South Korea, collaborating on autonomous driving technologies. Hyundai has several cooperative projects related to electrification and digitalization that may include autonomous driving, reflecting strategic alliances in battery technology and vehicle innovation.
Another startup, Spillmann, is led by Bülen Menekse and aims to offer automated minibuses for the elderly. Spillmann is cooperating with Mercedes in Sindelfingen for their concept.
Forty municipalities in Korea have declared themselves test cities, and 5000 kilometers on 44 highways have been added for testing autonomous driving. The Korean law follows a "negative policy" where autonomous driving can be tested unless explicitly prohibited, such as near schools.
Minister Hermann expressed his interest in the potential of battery recycling and saw great progress in many areas of his trip to Japan and Korea. The AI Hub, with its 300 million euros in investment and 126 companies established, is a testament to Korea's commitment to artificial intelligence and autonomous driving.
As Hermann's tenure as Minister of Transport comes to an end, his visit to the AI Hub in Seoul marks a significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration between Germany and South Korea in the field of autonomous driving and artificial intelligence.
