The new simple (conditional) driver’s license will be introduced following the first and second types of driver’s licenses that we are familiar with. I am already curious about what the future driver’s license test will look like. In preparation for this, the Korea Road Traffic Authority plans to establish a verification complex exclusively for autonomous vehicles in Hoengseong-gun by the end of 2025 to enable the evaluation of autonomous vehicles in various road environments such as dedicated roads, interstate and auxiliary highways, and urban living roads.In the upcoming era of fully autonomous driving, what are the management measures accordingly?Level 1 (2023-2025) Minimizes driver intervention, launches Level 3 vehicles that respond to drivers only in emergencies (2026-2027) Commercialize Level 4 buses and shuttles corresponding to fully autonomous driving Level 3 (2028~) Commercialize Level 4 passenger carsVarious autonomous mobility including buses that will be gradually introduced after verification of safe operation! Even if it is fresh and fun, don’t forget to follow the guidelines and laws for the safety of all of us when using it!Image SUMThe bus driver who took off the steering wheel, but the bus is running?

It is called “autonomous vehicle traffic safety education.” This is because drivers need safety knowledge as self-driving cars have become increasingly commercialized. The traffic safety education, which includes the obligation to change control of drivers and the responsibility of drivers, has been added to the traffic safety education that is received when a new driver’s license is newly acquired, and it will be implemented in earnest starting this year in accordance with the Enforcement Rules of the Road Traffic Act revised last year.Hello, Traffic Safety Properly, Zero Traffic Accident Road Transportation Corporation.
