SK Telecom has also teamed up with fellow SK Group companies SK Innovation and SK Hynix to host a second both showcasing key self-driving technologies including a solution for more accurately determining the distance between self-driving cars and surrounding objects using LiDAR (light detection and ranging) technology.

“At CES 2019, SK Telecom will showcase cutting-edge technologies related to media and mobility, the areas that will undergo innovative changes in the 5G era,” commented Yoon Yong-chul, EVP and head of Communication Center at SK Telecom.
