TYM announced on 17 May 2024 that its T130 tractor had passed a domestic comprehensive test covering autonomous turning and implement control. The test was organized by the Korea Agriculture Technology Promotion Agency.
According to TYM, the system could generate and follow paths, turn and operate implements using technology developed by its subsidiary TYMICT. The release reported working errors of approximately four to five centimetres under the test conditions. It also explained that the capability was classified as Level 2 under newer Korean standards, equivalent to Level 3 under an earlier Rural Development Administration framework. The differing terminology is important: the announcement concerned partial automatic farming operations, not an unconditional claim of unattended operation in every environment. TYM described further model introductions as plans for later in 2024.
