And not only at the training ground, but also on public roads. The executive director for information and intelligent systems «NAMI» told TASS about this. Denis Endachev.
«Unmanned technologies in the automotive industry — This is not only one of the key trends, but also an objective reality. Specialists from FSUE "NAMI" have been involved in the development and testing of similar technologies for many years. Currently, a Lada Vesta», — he said.
No details at this time. Denis Endachev only reported that the unmanned Vesta successfully navigates city traffic.
Actually «US» has been testing autopilot for a long time; initially they used Lada Kalina for this. Then we switched to Vesta. Photos of unmanned Vesta 2021 and 2024 are presented above. It is clearly visible that the car has now received a new set of cameras and sensors.
