The operation of a driverless train is being tested in the Moscow metro; Developers are testing the design. Izvestia writes about this.
Head of the Center for Research and Development of Unmanned Transport of the Moscow Metro, Pavel Boksha, spoke about the work being done.
“We conducted the test on behalf of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. It will take place on the Big Circle Line on the Moscow 2024 train,” he said.
Later this year, the opening of a non-scheduled passenger train is expected. The driverless train line is expected to be deployed by 2030.
Previously, automobile expert Dmitry Zolotov said that the Ministry of Transport presented the bill “On Highly Automated Vehicles”, allowing driverless vehicles to move on public roads. However, this type of transportation can be difficult when driving in the city. He is sure that the most difficult thing for driverless cars will be turning around.
