The \u201cdriver-less train control\u201d software will deploy first in Circle Line, Moscow Metro. The fully autonomous trains will be responsible for everything but opening and closing the doors &#8212; and even then, the software will have <em>something<\/em> to say about it.<\/p>\n<p>After 10\u00a0years of research and development and a brief half year of field testing on the Moscow Metro lines, the new autopilot began driving the trains in mid-February.<\/p>\n<p>The system is capable of running trains between stations, stopping with a 3\u00a0centimeter margin of error, maintaining safe speed limits, and in turn, reducing driver fatigue and human error. The driver can switch to manual controls whenever needed and operate the doors. The software checks if the train is idle and at the platform for safe loading and unloading.<\/p>\n<p>The company claims the software is safe from any unauthorized access and protected by security strategies similar to those taken by the Russian military. This is not surprising \u2013 the company also develops armament and fire control systems for the Russian Air Force and mid-range antiaircraft missile systems for the Army Air Defense.
