On Coastal Roads near the Airport

A free self-driving mobility service has been launched in Jeju.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that a self-driving mobility service was launched in Jeju on Nov. 3.

The service on the coastal roads near the airport of the island and in and around its Jungmun Tourist Complex is free until next year. The same service is scheduled to be launched in Daegu City next year.

Three autonomous vehicles are used in the service. Two will be in operation near the airport to cover 16 kilometers of coastal roads. The other will be in operation in and around the complex. A reservation can be made with an app or QR code.

In the meantime, the ministry provides its first traffic safety training for autonomous vehicle users on Nov. 3. This is because provisionally approved Level 4 autonomous cars are increasing in Jeju along with self-driving test areas.
