Mars Auto

Mars Auto develops autonomous Class 8 trucks for long-haul freight, operating in Korea and the United States with a vision-focused AI driving system that does not rely on HD maps. The company emphasizes real-time visual perception and has a goal to deploy fully unmanned trucks by 2028.

Mars Auto uses a seven-camera system and a vision-based end-to-end AI driving agent that learns directly from real driving data to interpret surroundings in real time. It operates without pre-mapped routes, enabling flexible routing across changing lanes and unseen roads. The platform supports long-haul freight with supervised self-driving operations and aims to scale to fully unmanned operations by 2028.

Who it’s for: Commercial freight carriers and shippers requiring autonomous long-haul trucking across Korea and the United States.
