A joint team of students from Kookmin University and other Korean universities won the top prize at Bosch Future Mobility Challenge (BFMC) 2026, an international autonomous driving and connectivity competition, held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from May 16-20. Kookmin University said Wednesday that the team outperformed competitors during the five-day event in which 57 teams from around the world participated. The event brought together undergraduate and master’s students who developed their own self-driving algorithms. The participants competed fiercely to demonstrate their technical skills using 1:10-scale autonomous model cars on tracks designed as miniature smart cities that simulated real road conditions. The Korean team consisted of students participating in a global talent development program jointly run by Kookmin University and the Volkswagen Group WE: Foundation. The program, called Software Engineering in Automotive and Mobility Ecosystems (SEA:ME), operates under the Convergence and Open Sharing System (COSS) Future Mobility Consortium to provide selected students with mobility
