Russian company, Yandex (often compared to Google here in the United States), recently debuted their very own self-driving car. Last week, Yandex released a video depicting its self-driving car driving through snowy streets of Moscow–an extraordinary feat navigating inclement weather and adverse driving conditions. The video shows a driver with his hands in his lap as the car turns its own wheel to navigate around snowy embankments and carelessly parked cars. Yandex combined cameras, radar, lidar and specialized satellite navigation. While this is only the beginning of its prototype and its technology, Yandex hopes to create a universally applicable technology for cars all around the world. Dmitriy Polischuk, head of Yandex, said, “With enough data, everything that can be identified by human eyes can also be identified by a computer with proper technologies.” To watch the video click here.
