The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

Hyundai Mobis will conduct large-scale tests of Level 4 autonomous vehicles in Incheon, South Korea, starting in 2025. Partnering with local authorities and tech firms, the project aims to advance self-driving technology, though no incidents or harm have been reported as the trials are in the planning stage.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The event involves the use of an AI system (level 4 autonomous driving) in real-world urban testing. Although no harm has been reported yet, the nature of autonomous driving technology inherently carries risks that could plausibly lead to injury or other harms if the system malfunctions or fails. Therefore, this event qualifies as an AI Hazard because it describes a credible scenario where the AI system's use could plausibly lead to an AI Incident in the future. It is not an AI Incident because no harm has occurred yet, nor is it merely complementary information or unrelated news.[AI generated]
