Hyundai's Blueprint for Self-driving Cars

Hyundai Motor Co. plans to deploy the so-called "level 4 autonomous driving" cars of its own on roads by 2021, in a commercial capacity.

For that goal, Hyundai has established a new partnership with Aurora Innovation, a U.S.-based autonomous driving startup.

Aurora is a closely watched startup by three well-known self-driving car veterans from Google, Tesla, and Uber. Founded only in 2016, it has already announced two giant automakers as customers -- Volkswagen and Hyundai.
