The first innovative train will be launched on the Big Circle Line in 2025. A 5th generation (5G) technological network will be created to organize driverless traffic.

The connection will allow for prompt interaction with the transport infrastructure. After the technology is refined, it will be implemented on other metro lines.

In addition, Moscow is already testing a driverless boat for the needs of the transport police. And in the autumn, a driverless tram will begin to run through the streets of the capital.
