FEBRUARY - MARCH 2024AUTOTECHOUTLOOK.COM19limitations, requiring only a designated area and a short setup time.With a disengagement level as low as 1.3 times per 100 kilometers, its software surpasses level four autonomy standards. Unlike retrofitted cars, the shuttle bus platform allows Autonomous a2z to integrate redundancy measures, which is crucial for true autonomous service. It is developing shuttle bus platform to enhance capabilities further and expand internationally.World's First Self-Driving Bus ServiceAs a pioneer in self-driving services, Autonomous a2z has achieved significant milestones, including the launch of the world's first self-driving bus service in the Seoul, South Korea in early 2022. Serving over 2,000 passengers, the public transit system has garnered praise from the city government due to its impressive safety record with very low disengagement levels.Autonomous a2z has significantly broadened its services, showcasing its versatility in various transportation sectors. For over a year and a half, the company has successfully operated self-driving taxis in collaboration with a major ride-hailing company. Concurrently, it has introduced a fleet of self-driving shuttle buses specifically designed for efficient airport transportation, seamlessly connecting parking lots to terminals. Beyond civilian applications, Autonomous a2z has extended its reach into law enforcement by implementing self-driving patrol cars, serving both the Korean military and police departments. This strategic combination of self-driving taxis, shuttle buses, and patrol cars highlights the company's comprehensive and impactful presence across diverse facets of the transportation industry.Notably, the self-driving patrol cars equipped with LiDAR, radar, and cameras are used for sea patrols, providing a unique solution for monitoring coastal areas. It has also optimized airport transportation, offering a cost-effective shuttle service over a 20 ­ 30-kilometer straight road, reducing workforce requirements.The diverse range of successful cases demonstrates the adaptability and reliability of self-driving technology across various sectors, receiving positive feedback from central and local governments in South Korea. Its distinct blend of innovative software and hardware solutions has positioned it as a leader in the Korean autonomous vehicle market. With a focus on international expansion, Autonomous a2z invites potential partners to explore opportunities in its groundbreaking solutions for the autonomous transportation sector. We acknowledge that shuttle buses, operating on designated routes with limited speeds, offer a safer and more controlled environment conducive to autonomous driving
