Moscow Polytech Expert Discusses Implementation of Autopilot, "Slow" AI, and Main Enemy of Road Safety

Yuri Furletov, Associate Professor and Senior Researcher at Moscow Polytechnic University, spoke on the Rossiya 1 television channel about why rails will become a testing ground for autopilot and whether we should fear the "iron driver." According to the expert, the evolution of driverless transport will move from simple to complex. Passengers on trains and trams will be the first to experience automation. Yuri Furletov sees the main advantage of driverless vehicles as the elimination of the human factor.
