Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Russia\u2019s IT giant Yandex has launched unmanned taxis in Moscow in test mode, the company said on Wednesday. Users will be able to order the robotaxi in the Yandex Go taxi app.<\/p>\n

There are currently about 40 pick-up and drop-off points in the district. Initially, the self-driving car can only be ordered by those who have pre-registered for the service.<\/p>\n

The taxi will take only one adult passenger and each trip will cost 100 rubles ($1.22). \u201cAccording to the current legislation, there is always a test driver in the car to ensure the safety of the trip,\u201d Yandex added.<\/p>\n

Andrey Karmatsky, Yandex\u2019s self-driving taxi service lead, told Sputnik that a total of 12,000 users pre-registered to test the service, and a few hundred users already used unmanned taxis.<\/p>\n

Alexander Tolmachev, a member of Russia\u2019s lower house\u2019s committee on transport, told Sputnik on Wednesday that no new legislature is required to greenlight the launch of unmanned taxis in test mode.<\/p>\n

The IT giant began developing the autonomous vehicle system in early 2017. The first tests of robotaxis took place in 2018 in the village of Innopolis and later in Moscow.<\/p>\n

Since then, Yandex\u2019s unmanned cars have already driven more than 24 million kilometers (15 million miles), and the residents of Innopolis have made more than 60,000 trips.<\/p>\n
