In the meantime, companies have already begun to test cars, trucks, buses, trains and trams without a person driving.
The possible introduction of drones on common routes is reported in the passport of the National Project " Safe and high -quality roads " , published by the Government of the Russian Federation. According to the plan, this fall, the concept of road safety is adapted taking into account unmanned vehicles, by the end of next year, technologies will be developed that will make their movement possible, and after a year the relevant laws will be taken and the first 27 areas in which cars without a driver will move. By the end of 2024, the number of such sites will increase to 55.
The very first cars can appear on the roads in the spring of 2019, in test mode. In December, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed the corresponding resolution. It was prepared by the working group of the National Technological Initiative (NTI) "Autonet", automakers, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSUE "NAM " and "Yandex " . The experiment will be conducted on the roads of Moscow and Tatarstan, it will last until the spring of 2022 and is designed to confirm that the use of drones on public roads is possible. In the process, technical requirements for them will be developed, which will subsequently help to draw up a regulation. During the experiment, such cars will receive a special sign that implies “autonomous driving” - the letter “A”.

PJSC KAMAZ, LLC "KB Aurora", JSC "Scientific and Design Bureau of Computing Systems" (NKB BC), Innopolis University, Moscow Road State Technical University (MADI) will test 12 prototypes. At the same time, Yandex plans to start the operation of 100 automated cars next year, ”the report said.
At the same time, KAMAZ is responsible for testing automated trucks in Naberezhnye Chelny, KB Aurora has developed unmanned buses and agricultural equipment, Yandex - automated cars, which will then become a taxi, and the University of Innopolis, the NKB Sun and Madi will represent the types of unmanned vehicles for movement for winter and winter and complicated roads. In the future, more companies will be able to take part in the testing of drones, there are 20 of them in the country now.
Earlier it was reported that the company Uber plans to integrate autonomous technologies into electric scooters and bicycles. Unmanned vehicles will be able to independently charge or get to the user renting them. Uber has already begun to search for a new team of specialists in the field of sensory and robotics technologies. At the same time, the company will continue to work on unmanned vehicles.

On the highway, the car developed a speed of up to 80 km/h, although the operator took over the control of the road and in the city. The car has two operating modes: retention in the strip and movement in conditions of a large number of obstacles and unforeseen factors. During the test, difficulties arose that were not noticed before. For example, in some sections of the track there were problems with the recognition of the area of the roadway.
In June 2018, the Yandex.Taxi autonomous car successfully reached Moscow to Kazan, having traveled almost 800 kilometers along the Volga federal highway. The average speed of the car was 70 km/h. Behind the driver’s seat in the car was a test pilot who monitored the operation of the systems, but the car overcame the car in 99% of the time in the mode of the autopilot.
Then, 2018, a 12-seater unmanned electric bus Sh.A.T.L. was tested on a special highway in Kazan. (Widely adaptive transport logistics) "KAMAZ-1221". To demonstrate the capabilities of a car on the shore of Kazanka, a 650 m long path, located inside the closed territory fenced around the perimeter.
New routes of electric trains on the MCC / AGN "Moscow" / Photo: Nikirichev AndreyEarlier it was reported that the “Russian railways” (Russian Railways) plan to put unmanned trains on the Moscow Central Ring (MCC) since 2021. The first test trips can take place this year, but under the control of the driver.
The first unmanned tram in Russia will be tested in the near future on route No. 17 Ostankino-Medvedkovo in the northeast of Moscow, its commercial use is scheduled for 2021.
