MOSCOW, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Adventurous Muscovites may soon be able to
travel around parts of Moscow in driverless taxis as Russian tech giant
Yandex [15](YNDX.O) plans to start testing the autonomous vehicles in
the city this year, the company said on Wednesday.
Yandex, which operates a raft of services from online search to food
delivery, has been testing self-driving technology for more than three
years in Russia, Israel and the United States.
Robotaxis will available through the company's Yandex.Go application in
one Moscow district for certain customers, Yandex said in a statement.
"The launch in Yasenevo is the first stage of a large Yandex project to
launch driverless taxis," the company said. "Over time, there will be
more cars, the number of locations you can go to and from will
increase, and ever more people will be able to hail driverless taxis."
Russian legislation does not yet allow driverless vehicles to travel
without a person at the wheel, except in special economic zones, such
as the city of Innopolis in the Tatarstan region.
Restrictions on their use in certain areas of large cities could be
partially lifted after a law came into force this year.
Yandex's fleet of around 170 driverless cars has travelled more than 14
million kilometres. The company also has self-driving robots for food
delivery, which already operate on some U.S. college campuses through a
partnership with online food-ordering company GrubHub . [16]read more
