The sixth generation of A1 using Gv80 was completed. The fifth generation of the
autonomous vehicle A1 is known as the world’s first vehicle to successfully drive without
human intervention via 5G technology on March 2019. The new A1 is composed of LiDAR
sensor to sense objects from all four directions and various computing units to run artificial
intelligence based autonomous driving algorithm. A notable point is that the engineering
team optimized both hardware and software structure for the artificial intelligence-based
algorithms to run smoothly inside the vehicle, which requires large operation capacity. Also,
the vehicle is installed with communication device to receive infrastructural information
provided by the Seoul city, which enables it to navigate with the most up-to-date road
information. The 6 th generation A1 vehicle will be certified with temporary autonomous
driving license in the coming month from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport,
which only three vehicles have received in the nation, and will be used in the testbed
demonstration organized by the Seoul metropolitan government.
The testbed demonstration is to show self-parking service for users, cooperated with
ControlWorks, ACE Lab and LG U+. ACE Lab is in charge of building the vehicle and the self-driving algorithm.
