Retrofuturism

Retrofuturism. Retrotram 71-431R has finally completed certification tests in St. Petersburg for compliance with GOST requirements and the customer’s technical specifications, which means that it will soon be able to go on the route. Based on the results of the testing, the trains from Uraltransmash received a state certificate, but the news about Dostoevsky did not end there. Judging by the statement of Olga Uskova, the head of the Cognitive Pilot company, the new streetcar will be equipped with Cognitive Tram Pilot. That is, a system of active safety and driver assistance based on artificial will make it possible to see cars and people on the streetcar track, understand the direction of their movement, determine traffic signals and react accordingly. The AI controls the speed limit on problematic sections of the route, detects interference and helps in dangerous situations. To put it simply, St. Petersburg streetcars will only look like retro cars from the 50s, and in fact will turn out to be smarter than some drivers. In any case, the system will bring them as close to unmanned mode as possible. Источник: Slavyangrad
