South Korean driveline supplier Mando Corp. has received approval from the California Dept. of Motor Vehicles to test autonomous vehicles in the state.
Mando is the 57th company to be licensed for such testing, which requires a human backup driver in the vehicle. The only other Korean company approved to date in California is Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.
Mando received government approval for autonomous vehicle testing in Korea in early 2017. The company says testing in the U.S. and Korea will help accelerate the development of its “Hockey” platform—including sensors and other independently developed technologies—for Level 4 autonomous driving.
Last year, Mando opened a research and development center in Silicon Valley to forge partnerships with local tech startups. The company also recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Naver Labs, a Korean software company specializing in autonomous driving technology.
Formed in 1962, Mando produces braking, steering and suspension systems to carmakers worldwide. The company is part of South Korea’s Halla Group.
