Part 4/11:
A cornerstone of South Korea’s AV strategy is the creation of the 'K-City'—a massive 320,000-square-meter simulated environment designed for AV testing. This replica city features roads, highways, tunnels, and toll booths, replicating real-world conditions without the risks associated with live streets.
The infrastructure relies heavily on 5G technology, which allows vehicles to communicate seamlessly with each other, surrounding infrastructure, and the broader network. With a bandwidth a hundred times faster than 4G and near-zero latency, 5G ensures AVs receive real-time data necessary for safe navigation, object detection, and collision avoidance.
