Yandex launched a robot taxi in Moscow. Now you can order a car, the journey of which will be controlled by AI, the company’s press service said.
The service is still working in test mode, residents of the Yasenevo district can call a robot taxi. The order is available from seven in the morning to midnight. In the initial stage, customers who have requested it in advance will be able to test the innovative service. Subsequently, the service will be available to all residents of the area.
A special button will be displayed in the Yandex.Go application. Users will be able to select collection and delivery points. In total, there are about 40 such points in the region. For example, you can choose a ride from the Constellation school to the metro or from Bitsevsky Park to the Eurospar supermarket.
