Hyundai is in advanced discussions with Samsung to manufacture chips for its self-driving cars, utilizing Samsung's automotive semiconductor line based on the 5nm process.
This partnership, following Tesla's similar move, aims to stabilize Hyundai's supply chain within South Korea and reduce dependence on foreign foundries like TSMC.
Hyundai plans to launch self-driving vehicles equipped with these chips by 2026, while Samsung's involvement could enhance its standing in the competitive self-driving vehicle market, projected to reach $29 billion by 2030.
