While Uber and sex free videoTesla grab headlines in self-driving car tech, Korean engineers are building an autonomous vehicle that is planned for roadworthiness by the middle of this year.
A team at the Seoul National University have been building their self-driving car -- cleverly named SNUber -- for the past couple of years. While it's been available for use on campus via an app, the team is ready to test the outside terrain, thanks to Korea recently opening downtown roads to self-driving cars.

It was also able to overtake obstacles like double-parked cars and made safe left and right turns -- perhaps more passively than the average driver in safety-first, “grandma-style” fashion, as the driver put it.
Via GiphySeo Seung-woo, lead professor on the project, said he and his team of around 20 engineers ultimately aims for Level 4driverless technology -- regarded as full autonomy, which involves ferrying a passenger from door-to-door on regular roads. They expect the tech will be ready for primetime by 2025.
For now, the team has much to tackle. Because autonomous vehicles are uncharted ground in South Korea, the university's Vehicle Intelligence Lab must be an all-round map-making, tech-developing, car-souping team.
They've tested the vehicles in snow and rain too, and is seeking more data for nighttime driving and more severe driving conditions.
Seo said the lab expects its research to allow it to eventually step into the commercial realm as a technology supplier for carmakers.
South Korea's Hyundai, for one, has expressed interest in autonomous vehicles. It's said it's keen to have Google to take the reinson its self-driving development, so it can bring partially semi-automated vehicles to market by 2020.
Last November, the carmaker took its Ioniq concept vehicle out for a spinat the L.A. Auto Show.
What the car sees“Economically and socially, there is so much evidence of why people will pursue and why people want autonomous driving in the future,” said Seo.
One is a rapidly aging society. More than half of Koreans are expected to be older than 52 by 2040, and they will need a tool for mobility, he said.
