The introduction of autonomous transport in the early stages of the formation of a smart city allows you to adapt technologies to the real needs of people and increase road safety. The concept of urban transport of the future of Navio is based on the movement of autonomous cars along the route: they will come to the nearest stop at the request of passengers.

Guests of the SberCity showroom can get acquainted with the technology and get the experience of traveling in an autonomous Navio car. They will be accompanied by an employee of the company who will talk about the actively developing smart district.

Navio comprehensively approaches the development of the field of technology application and develops solutions for creating a smart city. In the process of scaling the project, autonomous transport routes will be equipped with service stations and connected to V2X (vehicle-to-everything) technology, which will allow cars to receive additional information about the environment.

The autonomous car strictly complies with the rules of the road, does not get tired and is not distracted. All its maneuvers are smooth and calibrated, which is especially important for the comfort of passengers. Its vision is sensors: radars, lidars and cameras that provide 360-degree views.

The on-board computing module is responsible for processing sensor data and selecting optimal vehicle motion parameters. For May 2025, in accordance with the law, the car will contain a test driver who monitors the operation of automated systems.
