Seoul National University's SafeDrive Scores Paths for Safety

Seoul National University's SafeDrive model generates multiple driving trajectories, scores each for safety using sensor data, and picks the safest path. The research, led by professor Jun Won Choi, earned a CVPR 2026 highlight paper, the first Korean end-to-end autonomous driving paper to do so. SafeDrive has been integrated into the EAD reference model backed by Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
