Through the latest test drives, Hyundai is seeking to develop autonomous logistics delivery trucks.

Hyundai’s self-driving trucks will mostly run on local highways bound for the Incheon port, such as Youngdong highway.
This is the first time that a truck has received authorization to test out its driverless system here since the related regulation was implemented in 2016, the ministry said.
