In order to be at the forefront of the race for self-propelled vehicles, South Korea is building a huge test track: the K-City is as big as a small town, simulates the real traffic and is scheduled to go into operation in autumn. Not only the USA and Germany but also South Korea is working on the self-propelled car. The South Korean government is now taking a further step to advance the technology in their own country faster. In October, the K-City will be opened. It is a 360,000 square meter site near the city of Hwaseong, on a giant test track for autonomous vehicles, narrow streets, traffic lights, roundabouts, even more, traffic lights, parking lots, bus lanes and an expressway.

The strict rules set by officials may have hindered the progress of self-driving cars in the US, but a country across the Pacific believes to have found a way around regulations. South Korea has announced it will open an 88 acre facility geared towards testing autonomous technologies, which will incorporate a range of scenarios and road environments found in the real-world. Called'K-City', the complex will allow self-driving cars to run the course without the need of a temporary operating permit that is required to test on public roads.
