Unmanned rail transport will be the first to be developed. The first unmanned tram in Moscow is planned to be launched this fall, and in five years two thirds of trams will be unmanned. About this Sergei Sobyanin said in an interview "Komsomolskaya Pravda".
"I believe that sooner or later all transport will be unmanned. Not in a year or two, but in decades. At the same time, unmanned rail transport will be the first to develop," said Sergei Sobyanin.
The next stage, according to him, will be driverless metro trains.
"Our train frequency is the highest in the world. It is very difficult to maintain these 90 seconds of clock-like movement. But we will solve this. We will start testing the first driverless train at the end of the year," the Moscow Mayor specified.
Unmanned transport undergoes three levels of testing: the first – without passengers, the second – with passengers, but in the presence of a driver who is nearby and provides insurance, and the third – with passengers and without a driver.
