【】to have Google to take the reins

While Uber and Tesla grab headlines in self-driving car tech, Korean engineers are building an autonomous vehicle that is planned for roadworthiness by the middle of this year.。

A team at the Seoul National University have been building their self-driving car -- cleverly named SNUber -- for the past couple of years. While it's been available for use on campus via an app, the team is ready to test the outside terrain, thanks to Korea recently opening downtown roads to self-driving cars.。

In a ride I had with two engineers, the car safely maneuvered through traffic on the Seoul campus, stopping for pedestrians, slowing traffic and oncoming buses that poked into its lane.  。

It was also able to overtake obstacles like double-parked cars and made safe left and right turns -- perhaps more passively than the average driver in safety-first, “grandma-style” fashion, as the driver put it. 。

driverless technology -- regarded as full autonomy, which involves ferrying a passenger from door-to-door on regular roads. They expect the tech will be ready for primetime by 2025.。

For now, the team has much to tackle. Because autonomous vehicles are uncharted ground in South Korea, the university's Vehicle Intelligence Lab must be an all-round map-making, tech-developing, car-souping team. 。Mashable Light SpeedWant more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?Mashable Light SpeedWant more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?Sign up for Mashable's weekly Light Speed newsletter. 。
