According to Sawyer Merritt, Hyundai's self-driving unit 42dot has released a new demonstration video showcasing its end-to-end autonomous driving software operating on South Korean roads and performing advanced parking maneuvers. The AI system relies exclusively on eight vehicle-mounted cameras, eliminating the need for high-definition maps, and leverages a powerful 400 TOPS-class neural processing unit (NPU) to deliver Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) across highways and urban environments. This camera-only, map-free approach represents a significant AI trend in scalable autonomous vehicle deployment, reducing infrastructure dependencies and operational costs for OEMs (Source: Sawyer Merritt).
