Meanwhile, ETRI has been actively carrying out standardization activities related to autonomous driving not only in the International Automotive Engineers Association but also in international standardization organizations W3C and ITU-T through the Ministry of Science and ICT’s information and communication broadcasting standard development support project since 2020.The Autonomous Driving Level Standard (SAE J3016), which is being developed by the International Association of Automotive Engineers, is a standard document defining a total of six levels of autonomous driving, from level 0 without any autonomous driving function to level 5 that supports fully autonomous driving. The standard has been revised since it was established in 2014, most recently in 2021.RELEASE Technology Pioneer to Create a Happy Future World with Digital InnovationSelf-driving level standards are widely used in industries such as automobile manufacturers and parts manufacturers, international organizations such as the United Nations Economic Commission (UNECE), and national standards and regulations in each country.ETRI_Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute press releaseAs representative standardization activities, we are developing various standards in the field of autonomous vehicles, such as ▲ Vehicle Information Service Standard (Editor Lee Won-seok), and ▲ Vehicle Information Requirements for Self-Driving (Editor Cha Hong-ki, Standard Specialist). It is a significant achievement in that Korea has now changed its status as a standard adjuster in the field of autonomous driving and has provided an opportunity to secure the initiative in international standardization of autonomous driving technology by leading SAE International to develop standards for autonomous driving. Director Bang Seung-chanSAE International is a factual standardization organization that develops standards for automotive and aerospace fields founded in the United States in 1905, and is now a leading organization in the professional technology industry in various industries, including the automotive and aerospace industries, with more than 138,000 members in more than 100 countries around the world.ETRI Appoints Self-Driving Level International Standard Editor-Choong-ki Cho, General Manager of Self-Driving Level Standards-Completed by 2024 Domestic researchers have created remarkable international standardization results related to ‘autonomous driving’, a core technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is evaluated that it has laid the groundwork for leading the global autonomous driving market based on Korea’s technology in the future. The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced on the 24th of last month that Cha Hong-ki, a member of the standard expert, took over as editor in charge of the revision of the self-driving level standard developed by the SAE International.ETRI explained that it will work to ensure that our technology is reflected in international standards by collecting opinions from experts related to autonomous driving, including domestic manufacturers, in future work on autonomous driving level standards, and aims to complete the revision by 2024.ETRI is appointed as an international standard editor at the level of self-driving, PRESS, public relations office of the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI)As ETRI expert Cha Hong-ki has been appointed as the SAE J3016 standard revision work editor, he will be responsible for the development of documents such as collection and coordination related to the revision of opinion standards and determining the direction of standard development. Since 2021, ETRI expert Cha Hong-ki has been working for the ORAD committee under SAE International, expressing opinions in the process of developing various autonomous driving-related standards, and has exercised voting rights when revising them, and has conducted SAE International and SAE J3016 international standardization training several times for domestic experts.
