Dmitry Kuzyakin, CEO of the Center for Comprehensive Unmanned Solutions, recently shared his views on the future of self-driving cars in Russia. According to him, a significant increase in the number of autonomous vehicles on Russian roads is unlikely in the near future. "I doubt they will appear at all. Technologically, it's already possible for a car to transport a person from point A to point B without accidents. The real question is whether this can be done on a mass scale," Kuzyakin stated.
Despite his skepticism about widespread adoption, Kuzyakin believes that autonomous technologies will continue to evolve. For instance, many modern vehicles already feature advanced systems like automated parking and collision warnings. However, the mass deployment of fully autonomous cars faces significant hurdles, including regulatory, infrastructural, and public acceptance challenges.
Kuzyakin's comments come at a time when the global automotive industry is heavily investing in autonomous technologies. While Russia has made some progress, the country still lags behind global leaders in this field. The expert emphasized that without addressing these challenges, the dream of self-driving cars becoming a common sight on Russian roads remains distant.
