Moscow Outpaces Others in Integration of Autonomous Systems into Urban Infrastructure
Moscow Leads the Way in Autonomous Technology
Moscow, Russia, has been at the forefront of autonomous technology initiatives since 2018, with a focus on self-driving vehicles, smart infrastructure, and AI integration.
According to a report by the press service of the "Moscow Innovative Cluster" fund, citing a study, venture investments in the development of autonomous technologies in Moscow from 2018 to 2025 amounted to $2.8 billion. This investment has attracted both government and private sectors, with companies such as Yandex leading the way in autonomous taxi services.
There have been pilot programs for autonomous taxis and buses operating in select districts, and smart traffic management and AI-enhanced surveillance are part of Moscow's broader smart city strategy. The city aims to expand autonomous transport across the city, integrate AI more deeply into urban management, and promote startups and technological innovation in this sector. The goal is to enhance efficiency, reduce traffic incidents, and improve environmental sustainability.
By 2030, Moscow plans to fully integrate unmanned systems into key areas of life. Unmanned vehicles such as cars, taxis, trams, and trains have already been launched in test mode. As of now, 123 companies and 16 scientific and technical centers are developing and creating software for autonomous technologies, employing approximately 10,000 people.
In addition, Moscow leads global megacities in the implementation of autonomous unmanned technologies across various sectors. An international forum "Unmanned Systems: Technologies of the Future" will be held in Moscow from August 14 to 17, showcasing advanced developments for various civilian needs.
