South Korea’s Hyundai Mobis Co. says it has developed a redundant brake system for use in future fully autonomous vehicles.

The system consists of two electronic braking systems with separate control units, which share information with each other. If the main brakes are disabled, the vehicle automatically switches to the backup unit.

Several other companies are developing similar systems. But Hyundai Mobis claims it is the first to successfully test the technology for potential commercial applications.

Hyundai Mobis also is developing an electric power steering system with redundant controls.
