Test rides of the autonomous tram with passengers will begin in September. The full launch of the new transport is planned before the end of 2025, said the head of the Moscow Department of Transport, Maxim Lixutov.
The tram will be controlled automatically, and the driver will monitor its actions.
The software for the autonomous tram is being developed by employees of the Moscow Metro in the Development Center in Kuntsevo. During the tests, artificial intelligence worked without errors, as a result, the tram did not get into a single accident.
Moscow was the first in Russia to introduce an experimental legal regime for launching an autonomous tram. The corresponding document was signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
