In mid-October, Yandex began delivering commercial cargo using unmanned trucks on the M-4 Don highway. Today, drones travel with a driver in the cabin, who must control the movement of traffic. Future plans include launching “fully autonomous freight transportation without a test driver,” the company said.
Yandex has been developing an autonomous driving system since 2017. The company is also testing autonomous vehicles in Moscow, Innopolis (Tatarstan) and Sirius (Sochi).
Self-driving cars can drive on public roads in Russia under an experimental legal regime that was adopted in March 2022. It also made it possible to start the movement of Kamaz and Sberavtotech drones on the M-11 Neva between Moscow and St. Petersburg.
