Our team has started passenger transport operations using the first autonomous L5 shuttle on the grounds of the Manzherok Resort in Gorny Altai. Now you can experience it firsthand. This is no longer a concept or a future technology — it's a real‑world interaction with next‑generation transportation, available today. The shuttle has no manual controls or driver's seat; system operation is monitored by an engineer.
This milestone is a major step for us — it allows us to publicly demonstrate autonomous driving technology in action. It also enables us to:
- Test AI driver interactions with other road users
- Operate passenger transport along predefined routes
- Trial the autonomous shuttle in diverse climate and road conditions, including the challenging terrain of a ski resort
- Evaluate the shuttle's ergonomics
Given passenger traffic and the resort's infrastructure, the shuttle at Manzherok is configured to carry up to 20 passengers. The interior is finished with premium materials and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable ride: dedicated ski and snowboard mounts, adaptive climate control, and an ambient lighting system that adjusts to changing environmental conditions.
