  • The service uses Kakao Mobility's internally developed autonomy stack and operates through the Kakao T app.
  • The company added control logic that reduces speed below 80% of the posted limit and restricts rapid acceleration in child and other vulnerable-user protection zones.
  • Daytime data collection is continuing alongside the overnight public service to improve the end-to-end driving model across a wider range of traffic conditions.
