Autonomous A2Z (CEO Han Ji-hyung, hereinafter A2Z), a company specializing in autonomous mobility, announced on the 24th that its Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) Min-sang Yoo was invited to attend the 'Vehicle Automation Symposium 2025' hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International), to be held in Vienna, Austria on June 24-25 (local time).
The 'Vehicle Automation Symposium' is an annual international academic event hosted by SAE, which defined the level system, the international standard for autonomous driving technology, and is a place to discuss the entire autonomous driving ecosystem spanning technology, policy, legislation, and infrastructure. This year's event will be held under the theme of 'Commercialization of Level 4 Autonomous Vehicles', and key global organizations and companies such as the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the European New Car Assessment Agency (Euro NCAP), Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Microsoft, and Volkswagen will participate.
CSO Yoo Min-sang will participate in the panel session titled 'Robotaxis: From Deployment to Public Acceptance' on the 24th. The session will discuss key challenges and countermeasures in the process of commercializing autonomous vehicles, and CSO Yoo will emphasize the importance of leading the operation of Roboshuttles as part of a phased commercialization strategy and introduce Korea's commercialization roadmap using the Korean level 4 autonomous shuttle 'ROii' as an example.
He will also share Korea’s policy environment, which is the third country in the world to have achieved legislation for level 4 autonomous vehicles, his experience as a legislative proponent of the bill, and his overseas expansion cases in the Middle East and Singapore. Ingrid Skogsmo, Senior Research Leader at Sweden’s National Road Traffic Institute (VTI), and Walter Fruthey, CEO of Austrian autonomous driving company SURAAA, will also participate as panelists in this session.
A2Z currently holds the record for the largest number of autonomous vehicles in operation (55 vehicles) and cumulative driving distance (620,000 km) in the industry, and recently became the first Korean company to obtain an M1 autonomous driving license that allows autonomous driving on public roads in Singapore.
