LG Innotek has partnered with Kakao Mobility to develop autonomous driving solutions, expanding their presence in sensing modules for physical artificial intelligence (AI) and self-driving data.

The companies announced Wednesday that they signed a memorandum of understanding to develop self-driving solutions, combining LG Innotek’s sensing modules such as cameras, radar and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) with Kakao Mobility’s driving data and software technologies.

Under the partnership, LG Innotek plans to obtain real-world driving data from Kakao Mobility to further improve the performance and quality of its sensing modules.

Kakao Mobility plans to apply LG Innotek’s sensing technologies to its autonomous driving data management system, which automates the entire process from data collection to training and deployment.
