Kakao Mobility signed a memorandum of understanding with Nvidia to collaborate on a Level 4 autonomous driving system designed to meet global standards. The Korean ride-hailing operator will combine its proprietary autonomous driving AI models with Nvidia’s high-performance AI computing platform and use Nvidia Halos, an integrated safety system, to run, develop and validate the technology. The agreement was signed in Seoul on the sidelines of Nvidia AI Day, a two-day event hosted by the U.S. chipmaker. Ryu Gung-seon, Kakao Mobility’s chief executive officer, said the partnership would advance the company’s end-to-end autonomous driving technology and support preparations for the commercialization of Level 4 systems.
