Kakao Mobility unveiled a strategy to internalise Level 4 autonomous driving technology and build an open ecosystem to boost South Korea’s self-driving industry. At a conference in Seoul, executive Kim Jin-gyu presented a roadmap combining a proprietary machine-learning model, redundancy-based vehicle design and a validation platform linking simulation and real-world data. The company also plans an integrated safety management platform and expanded monitoring capabilities. It also introduced its late-night autonomous vehicle service in Seoul’s Gangnam area.

South Korea is sounding out Anthropic and OpenAI about joining a cooperation table to respond to threats posed by Anthropic’s AI model Mythos, the government said. Science ministry Vice Minister Ryu Je-myung said talks are under way on their formal participation. Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.4-Cyber are security-focused models that have drawn attention for their ability to find vulnerabilities. The government has held emergency meetings and is discussing upgrading an AI foundation model project for security capabilities.
