Russian Railways unmanned locomotives are already sweeping the expanses of Russia
The first unmanned shunting locomotives came at the disposal of Russian Railways. At the moment, they are already undergoing tests. Olga Uskova, the head of the Cognitive Technologies developer company, spoke about the unique domestic autopilot in the framework of the Open Innovations forum.
According to the functionary, technologyused in trains transferred to Russian Railways is unique. This is a completely domestic development, allowing locomotives to continue driving in any weather conditions, including snow drifts.
Uskova previously stated that unmanned locomotives will be able to run along Russian railways in a couple of years. Now, the director of Cognitive Technologies added that foreign developers could not create an autopilot for our weather conditions, and therefore domestic technology aroused great interest abroad.
In particular, Siemens (Germany) and Stadler (Switzerland) asked to demonstrate the process of autonomous movement of Russian trains. Based on this, Uskova is confident that in the future, unmanned locomotives of Russian Railways will be in great demand all over the world. This is a promising niche for Russia.

We see great potential here.
