Samsung enters the self-driving car race!!!

Samsung is set to officially launch its first test of self-driving vehicle technologies via Twitter in South Korea on a public road using a Hyundai-manufactured car, after obtaining permission from the country's regulatory authorities to announce the entry of a self-driving car race.

The Samsung spokesman said the company was only interested in building the necessary algorithms and self-transport devices, not the vehicle itself.

The company's efforts are based on its $ 8 billion acquisition of Harman Audio and Entertainment Technology, announced in November and closed in March. The deal brought together a team of some 8,000 software engineers expected to contribute Developing self-driving technology for Samsung.

The South Korean electronics company is the latest company to enter the race to develop and provide auto-driving capabilities along with other names such as Waimo of Google, Tesla, Apple, Ford and BMW. It should also compete with Nontonomie, which last year launched self-driving taxis In Singapore, and is now partnering with Peugeot to test SUVs without a driver.

Samsung is the 20th party to get permission to test self-driving vehicles in Korea, and there is not much information about its plans, but it seems to follow in the footsteps of Apple, which has recently been added to California's list of self-driving test vehicles.

Apple, Google and other technology companies often use Lexus modified SUVs to test self-control systems, while Samsung cooperated with its Hyundai, where the company will add advanced sensors and auto-learning systems to the car.
