He laid out a &#8220;two-track&#8221; strategy of collecting and analyzing driving data with global partners including Nvidia to accelerate entry into the self-driving market, then securing proprietary technology on that basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Addressing the company&#8217;s in-house developers, Park said, &#8220;We should not focus on technology for technology&#8217;s sake, but on creating the best technology that helps people,&#8221; adding, &#8220;If failure occurs, the leader will take responsibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Park Min-woo, President and Head of Hyundai Motor Group&#8217;s Advanced Vehicle Platform (AVP) Division and CEO of 42dot.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47684,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[16704,27930,27932,295,702,293,1436,27929,27931,10985],"class_list":["post-47683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hyundai-motor","tag-42dot","tag-avp-division","tag-end-to-end-autonomous-driving","tag-hyundai","tag-hyundai-motor","tag-hyundai-motor-group","tag-nvidia-partnership","tag-park-min-woo","tag-self-driving-technology","tag-software-defined-vehicle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
