Yandex self-driving car
Alkanchik:
'''Yandex self-driving car''' is a [[Robo-Taxi]] project of internet corporation [[Yandex]]. First driverless prototype launched in May 2017. As of 2018, functional service was launched in [[Russia]] (two locations) with prototypes being tested in [[Israel]] and the [[US]]<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>.

== History ==
In June 2017, Yandex.Taxi released a video demonstrating its [[Self-driving car|driverless car]] technology<ref></ref>. The prototype vehicle was a heavily modified [[Toyota Prius]]+ hybrid wagon/compact MPV equipped with three [[Lidar|LiDAR]] optical distance sensor by [[Velodyne LiDAR|Velodyne]], six radar units, and six cameras and a GNSS sensor for navigation, with [[Intel]] [[Central processing unit|CPU]]<nowiki/>s and [[Nvidia|NVIDIA]] [[Graphics processing unit|GPU]]<nowiki/>s<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> using a [[Linux]] operating system<ref></ref><ref></ref>.
In November 2017, the results of the winter test were presented. The car drove successfully along a snowy roads, which created increased difficulties. Vehicle covered up 300km in closed track<ref></ref>.
In February 2018,Yandex took a driverless car on a first real test drive after heavy snowfall on the narrow streets of [[Moscow]]<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>.
On May 29, 2018, free demo rides were offered to the public. Yandex reported that 700 passengers were given rides through the 10 hours of the demo<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>.
In June of 2018, a long-distance test ride was accomplished for a distance of 780 km over about 11 hours, with the vehicle stated to have been operated autonomously for 99% of this trip<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>.
Robo-taxi service was launched on a trial status in August 2018 in the university town of Innopolis in western Russia's [[Tatarstan|Republic of Tatarstan]]<ref></ref>. Service was free during this trial, and Yandex engineers remained in the cars as safety observers<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>. With success of the Innopoolis trial, Yandex initiated service at the [[Skolkovo Innovation Center]] in western Moscow in October of 2018. Company had given over 2000 self-driving passenger rides by the end of 2018<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>.
In December 2018, the company got a permission from the Israeli Transport Ministry to test its driverless car on public roads. This makes Israel the third country where the company is testing its self-driving vehicle<ref></ref><ref></ref>.
The driverless car was presented to the international public at the [[Consumer Electronics Show|CES]] 2019 in [[Las Vegas]]<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>. At the end of 2018, Yandex obtained a license to use these vehicles on public roads in [[Nevada]], one of the few American states where driverless cars are allowed. Unlike other prototypes demonstrated at the exhibition, the cars were circulating the streets of the city without any human control. There was no engineer at the wheel, only one in the passenger seat to take control of the car in case of emergency.
== Partnerships ==
=== Hyundai Mobis ===
In March 2019, an agreement was signed between Yandex and [[Hyundai]] to work on autonomous car systems<ref></ref>. They will develop control systems for autonomous vehicles for level 4 and level 5, the categories of automation defined as requiring limited to no human intervention<ref></ref>.
Partnership object is to provide a turnkey solution, which can be used by other manufacturers<ref></ref>.
The companies plan to show the first prototype of the joint project by the end of 2019<ref></ref>.
Companies noted that it is possible to expand cooperation in the areas such as speech, navigation, and mapping technologies<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>.
== Criticism ==
Yandex discloses only the number of trips made (2000+), but does not disclose the total autonomous kilometers driven by cars<ref></ref>.
As for all autonomous machines, metrics are criticized, which are indicated in the reports: the number of miles driven and the frequency in which human drivers were forced to take control. This data allows companies do not indicate certain incidents<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>.
