Moscow: metro driver can become a "profession of the past"
Moscow, which by the beginning of the 2018 World Cup has literally become the focus of the most modern of technologies, continues to confidently create its own, no less technological, future.
Speaking at a meeting of the IT Committee of the International Union of Public Transport, Moscow Deputy Mayor for Transport Maxim Liksutov said that the city authorities are considering launching unmanned subway cars along the Koltsevaya Line:
We are actively collecting international experience in the implementation of such technologies [unmanned vehicles]. Now we are at a fork in the search for technological solutions. Our idea is this: we have the Koltsevaya Koltsevaya line, which transports 650 thousand passengers a day, our plan for five years to consider the possibility of introducing unmanned wagons on this section precisely in this section.
It should be noted that the Moscow authorities developed their plan within the framework of the roadmap approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.
