Incheon is preparing plans to introduce autonomous-driving services in Cheongna, Yeongjong and Songdo, three of the city’s major development zones. Local reporting says the city is working toward a rollout that could begin next year.

The three areas offer different test conditions, from planned urban districts to airport-linked transport corridors. The useful details will be the operating routes, service type, safety driver requirements and whether the vehicles carry ordinary passengers or begin as limited pilots. Until those plans are finalized, the announcement is best read as a deployment program in preparation rather than a citywide autonomous-driving launch.
