News Summary:
On September 23, 2026, Humax Mobility's car-sharing brand, TURU CAR, reported that electric vehicle rental hours more than doubled over the Chuseok holiday from the previous year, attributing the rise to high fuel prices driving users toward EVs. Previously, on September 9, HiParking, a Humax Mobility subsidiary, announced it built an artificial intelligence-based smart video guidance system, "Ai-PAS," at a Seoul Station parking lot. The "Ai-PAS" system monitors all areas with 360-degree AI cameras and tracks vehicle movement in real time, demonstrating its capabilities on September 10 by guiding drivers to empty parking spots and providing pedestrian alerts. This followed TrueBlue Equity, a new private equity fund operator, selecting Humax Mobility as its initial investment on September 8, with intentions to acquire management rights. On September 3, Humax Mobility launched the ‘Autonomous Taxi Fleet Operation Infrastructure Joint Business Council’ and signed a memorandum of understanding with its subsidiaries HiParking, Humax EV, and People Car, alongside affiliates Kyle Samjesper and Konatus, to advance autonomous taxi operation infrastructure.
