A few months ago, Yandex announced that it was starting to develop an unmanned vehicle, and began to search for specialists in this field who could help in the implementation of the project. Yesterday, the Russian search giant presented the first version of its unmanned car, and posted a video with a demonstration on YouTube.
The head of the Yandex.Taxi press center, Vladimir Isaev, explained that the design uses anonymized data that the company receives from those who use Yandex.Navigator - this information allows us to better understand how a car should behave in a city with traffic jams accidents, detours and road signs.
The first prototype of the car was made for software testing, which the company specialists are working on. The autopilot includes machine learning, uses navigation, geolocation and computer vision. In addition, in his work, he takes into account data from other applications and services, among which are Yandex.Maps, Yandex.Navigation and others.
If the work proceeds according to schedule, experts are going to test the unmanned vehicle on the roads this year.
