SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group plans to ramp up its stake in a local startup specialised in autonomous driving technology and invest about 400 billion won ($308.19 million), a newspaper report said on Friday.
Hyundai Motor Group, which houses Hyundai Motor Co and Kia Corp, has been working on acquiring more stake in 42dot Inc, the Korea Economic Daily said, adding that the process is likely to be completed next month.
