Introducing the Fourth-Generation of Yandex’s Self-Driving Car

We’re excited to announce the next milestone in our partnership with Hyundai Mobis as we continue enhancing our self-driving technology. Together, engineers from Yandex and Hyundai Mobis contributed their respective expertise to design the fourth-generation of our self-driving car. Compared to our third generation vehicles, the two teams improved the sensor set and modified the vehicles’ electronic control units, resulting in our most advanced self-driving vehicle yet. The initial set of self-driving Sonatas have been operating on the streets of Moscow since March 2020. By the end of the year, we will add 100 Sonatas to our fleet, joining our existing fleet of over 100 self-driving Toyota Priuses. We will integrate the Sonatas into our robo-taxi service in Innopolis, Russia, as well as within our self-driving operations in Michigan. Find more about it in our blog:
