Kia is
playing catch-up on autonomous driving technology, with plans to
eventually reach SAE Level 2-4 automation and to complete a dedicated Hyundai-Kia
autonomous proving ground in California next year. On the way to its
goal of full autonomy by 2030, the Korean automaker will spend $2
billion by 2018 for the first of its Advanced Driver Assistance System
(ADAS) technologies as part of parent Hyundai Motor Group’s effort.
The
initial technology available by 2016 will include drive assist, park
assist and active safety features. Also in 2016, Hyundai-Kia will open
an autonomous driving proving ground in California City, as part of its
10-year-old U.S. proving ground near Mojave, California.
