1. Reasons for Amendment

This Amendment aligns safety standards for partially autonomous driving motor vehicles, which were prepared in 2019 to support the commercialization of partially (level 3) autonomous driving motor vehicles, with international standards prepared in March 2021, in order to reduce the burden on motor vehicle manufacturers, etc. to develop and manufacture separate autonomous driving motor vehicles for the domestic and export markets, and to enable the manufacture of autonomous driving motor vehicles that meet safety standards at an international level, thereby supporting the timely commercialization of partially autonomous driving motor vehicles and advancement of the autonomous driving industry.
