Almaty, December 9 (Xinhua) — Kazakhstan is preparing to introduce driverless trucks in 2027 to develop its transit potential, Kazinform news agency reported on Tuesday, citing Kazakh Transport Minister Nurlan Sauranbayev.
Speaking at a government briefing, he noted that when building roads, the state takes a long-term perspective—40–50 years into the future.
He added that when new roads are built, the necessary sensors will be integrated into the infrastructure to enable unmanned vehicles to navigate the country.
Kazakhstan's Ministry of Transport is currently discussing the launch of a pilot project with neighboring countries within the Eurasian Economic Union, noted N. Sauranbayev, adding that the introduction of driverless vehicles will significantly speed up the process of crossing checkpoints.
According to him, driverless trucks will reduce transportation costs, primarily by eliminating driver expenses. Furthermore, the autopilot will be able to operate 24 hours a day, which will triple delivery times and improve the environment.
