  YU (President Noh Seok-kyun) opened the 'automobile function safety SW research center (Director Park Yong-wan)'. This is to develop core parts and foster professionals who will lead the next-generation automobile industry.
 The 'Automobile Function Safety SW Research Center' is joined by 15 industry, academic, research and government bodies including the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (hereinafter MSIP), local governments (Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do), research centers (Gyeongbuk Institute of Convergence Industry Technology, Gyeongbuk Research Institute of Vehicle Embedded Technology), and six companies related to automobiles and IT (Ajin Industrial, E-Motion, Vadas, SMC, VIM, Jami, and universities. This project, which will be carried out until 2019, will have a total budget of 3.85 billion won comprised of 2.9 billion won from national funding and contributions from local government, companies and universities. Also, over 70 people will take part in the project including professors and industrial experts, as well as PhD level researchers.

 Through industry-academic-research cooperation, YU is planning to not only create innovate products while procuring intellectual property rights by developing convergence parts software based on functional safety of electronic parts in automobiles, but also foster experts and professionals needed in the automobile ICT technology convergence era. It is therefore expected that companies participating in this project will not only strengthen their industrial competitiveness, but also construct a cycle system to supply professionals to local automobile parts companies.
 According to the US market study institute, Strategy Analytics (SA), it is expected that in terms of the production cost of automobiles, the expense for electronic parts that was 30% in 2010, will rise to 50% by 2020. It also predicts that the automobile electronic parts market will grow to 303.3 billion dollars by 2020, and therefore, it is expected that YU 'Automobile Function Safety SW Research Center' will play a key role in not only strengthening the domestic and international competitiveness of local automobile parts companies, but also in the future smart car industry.
 YU Department of Information and Communication Engineering Park Yong-wan, who will oversee the Automobile Function Safety SW Research Center said that the "Convergence of Automobile and ICT technologies is an essential next-generation technology for realizing smart cars that will bring about great changes in our lives. Currently, automobile makers, parts companies and IT companies are in the starting stages for developing convergence technologies." He further added, "With the opening of this center, YU will procure unrivaled technologies through industry-academic-research cooperation, and will foster expert personnel to lead the next-generation smart car and self-driving automobile convergence parts market."
