South Korea Driverless Shuttle Minibus Market Insights
The driverless shuttle minibus market in South Korea is gaining momentum, fueled by the country’s aggressive smart mobility strategies and heavy investments in 5G-enabled autonomous transport ecosystems. Public-private partnerships, such as those between the Korean government and companies like Hyundai and KT, are enabling real-world deployment in smart cities like Sejong and Pangyo. The primary driver is Korea’s advanced infrastructure and strong regulatory support for autonomous vehicle testing. However, limited public trust in fully autonomous operations and high upfront R&D costs remain significant restraints. A major opportunity lies in integrating these shuttles into Korea's dense urban transit networks, especially for last-mile connectivity. Trends point toward AI-powered V2X (vehicle-to-everything) technologies and energy-efficient designs using hydrogen fuel cells. With pilot projects turning into permanent services in tech-forward zones, the South Korean market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 19.2% from 2025 to 2030.
