The Mobility Innovation Committee was launched on June 30 to discuss mobility innovation policies, one of the key national strategies, in the wake of the full-fledged opening of the mobility era.
The committee comprises industry experts who work for startups and large companies, a total of 27 people from four fields: ▲ Autonomous vehicles, ▲ City Air Transport (UAM), ▲ Digital Logistics, and ▲ Mobility services.
Minister Won Hee-ryong and Ha Heon-gu, a professor at Inha University, will co-chair the committee and hold fierce discussions for about two months, establish a roadmap for mobility innovation, and announce it in August.
At the kickoff meeting, the committee set the primary direction of the mobility innovation roadmap as ➊ private-led innovation, ➋comprehensive planning in the entire mobility field, ➌people oriented service, and ➍spatial structure change.
In particular, as the composition of a committee involving private experts means, the members who attended the meeting agreed that mobility innovation can be achieved under the structure of "private-led & government support."
The committee members stressed that the government should generously open opportunities for innovation to the private sector, especially drastic regulatory improvements and preemptive government investment in core technologies and services.
To this end, the committee decided to discuss tasks focusing on ▲unnecessary regulatory innovation, ▲expansion of core technology and service demonstration and commercialization support, ▲support for research and development of core technologies, and expansion of mobility-friendly infrastructure.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport also plans to actively support the entire process of discussion of the committee in the future and to review the tasks discussed in various ways to help them develop into actionable measures.
Immediately after the meeting, the Mobility Innovation Committee started discussions with four divisions and review critical tasks to be reflected in the roadmap.
Minister Won Hee-ryong said, "If the Mobility Innovation Committee boldly discovers innovative tasks, the government will mobilize all policy measures to support them," and asked, "Please discuss tasks to prepare for changes in the spatial structure such as cities, housing, and architecture that the change in movement will bring."
Minister Won Hee-ryong said, " We will not forget that the key to success in the era of mobility lies in presenting innovative services that people can see with their eyes and experience in daily lives. We will include all the necessary policies in the roadmap and explain them in detail to the people in August."
Meanwhile, before the kickoff meeting, he visited the TES (Technology, Engineering, System & Solution) Innovation Center operated by CJ Logistics and observed demonstrations of various digital logistics technologies.
After observing the technology demonstration, he said, "The government will also provide the necessary support so that on-demand mobility services that receive desired items at the time desired by consumers can be realized throughout the logistics process by applying advanced technologies such as robots and drones to logistics centers."
