A number of technology companies are testing out self driving cars, we recently heard that Apple had received approval to test out their technology in the US and now it looks like Samsung has received approval in its home country.
Samsung has received approval to test out is self driving cars technology on public roads in South Korea, the company had previously be testing out vehicles on a modified race track that it owns in the country.
Of course this does not means that Samsung is going to build a self driving car, the company could just develop the software to use in other manufacturers vehicles.
Apple had originally started its self driving car project by building their own car, the ended up shelving that idea and instead started to work on the software that will control these vehicles, so Samsung could do a similar thing.
