If artificial intelligence (AI)-based unmanned self-driving Remicon mixer trucks are introduced, how effective will they be. Currently, the cost of transporting one mixer truck based on the metropolitan area is about 75,000 won (excluding oil costs). Assuming that ready-mixed concrete manufacturers operate self-driving mixer trucks on average five times a day and 25 days a month, transportation costs alone will reduce about 112 million won per vehicle per year. On top of that, the benefits are even greater as the burden of additional costs such as waiting allowances for construction sites and recovery allowances paid to recover ready-mixed concrete washing water disappears. Of course, the manufacturer is responsible for vehicle maintenance, self-driving subscription fees, and insurance premiums. There is also a variable that winter is the off-season of construction. Currently, the price of new ready-mixed concrete mixer trucks is generally around 160 million. On top of that, if the price of the self-driving mixer truck is set at around 200 million won in consideration of the cost of the AI system, the recovery period of the investment considering the reduction in transportation costs is expected to be within three years. It is an investment worth trying if you are a large manufacturer of ready-mixed concrete. This scenario is supported by the fact that there are many cases of recovering investments based on three years even when introducing industrial robots. The ready-mixed concrete truck runs a relatively fixed route from the ready-mixed concrete plant to the construction site. The technical difficulty is relatively low compared to taxis heading to different destinations each time. Above all, if a market can be formed, technology will be rapidly advanced. It can also prepare for safety risks caused by aging. According to a 2022 survey by the Korea Federation of Remicon Industry Cooperatives, the average
