This setup demanded more advanced autonomous driving technology ready for real roads<\/p>\n<p>The winning vehicle attracted great attention as it only used LIDAR and cameras but not GPS, which is considered as one of the key ingredients for autonomous driving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>23 teams initially competed in the preliminary, and only five teams among those were selected as the finalists. Prof. Shim\u2019s team won 100 Million KRW and tickets to North America for educational travel.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Shim has prepared for this competition for last 17 months with Mr. Daegyu Lee, Ph.D. student and other team members in our department. In this event, their hard work has paid off to win the prestigious prize. Prof. Shim said he looks forward to applying this technology for many autonomous driving systems in near future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/drupal\/\uc0ac\uc9c4\ucea1\ucc98\ubcf8_2.PNG\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>[The KAIST\u2019s research team ceremony picture]<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>842<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":125097,"template":"","class_list":["post-122834","press-post","type-press-post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ee.presscat.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-post\/122834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ee.presscat.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-post"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/ee.presscat.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press-post"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ee.presscat.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/ee.presscat.kr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
