"Yandex" started testing its robotaxis in autonomous mode - without a driver

The tester sits in the passenger seat and cannot use either the steering wheel or the pedals

"Yandex" has taken its unmanned vehicles to a new level of testing - now there is no driver behind the wheel. The tester sits in the passenger seat, but he cannot use either the pedals or the steering wheel.

"Yandex" has begun testing autonomous driving technology without a test driver behind the wheel in the Yasenevo district of Moscow. This is a new stage in testing the technology that allows a car to move autonomously in the traffic flow of a large city.

The tester still has the ability to stop the car, and with just the touch of a button. Such a stop can be either emergency or planned. The route of the drones runs along the Moscow streets of Yasnogorskaya and Aivazovsky, Soloviny proezd, Rokotova street and Lithuanian Boulevard.
