2026 GMC Held... Discussions Range from Autonomous Driving Technology to Demonstration

The '2026 GMC', which surveys the present and future of the domestic and international mobility industry, was held. This event presented a blueprint for future means of transportation, covering everything from the advancement of autonomous driving technology to demonstration and commercialization methods in real life.

Focusing on Connecting Technology and Real Life Ahead of Autonomous Driving Demonstration Cities

According to a video from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, about 40 domestic and international organizations, including global companies and foreign governments, participated in this year's GMC. The core theme of this conference was 'From New to Now', focusing on discussing how mobility innovation can enter the realm of actual life.

An event official stated through a video interview, "Autonomous driving demonstration cities are scheduled to begin from the end of this year," and "At this event, we plan to focus on autonomous driving and intensively discuss what needs to be kept in mind, from the technological stage to the actual demonstration stage in our lives." Accordingly, keynote speeches and global roundtables were held during the morning session, followed by panel discussions in the afternoon on the theme of the changes that future means of transportation will bring to daily life.

Prospects for Next-Generation Means of Transportation such as UAM and Urban Changes

At the conference site, active discussions were held not only on autonomous driving but also on next-generation mobility such as UAM. Participants exchanged opinions on how the emergence of new means of transportation will change the structure and appearance of cities.

Particularly in the field of autonomous driving, the possibility of safe deployment through new AI-based driving models and system reasoning simulations was mentioned. This event served as a place for experts from academia, government, and industry to gather and build mutual relationships for the safe and convenient implementation of future mobility.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to create a future of safe and convenient movement together with countries around the world through this conference.
