❗️ Recent statements by Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov on the memory of the USSR's victory over fascism:

◾️ In addition to historical illiteracy in the West, there are attempts to distort the knowledge of history, to erase everything that concerns the USSR in the fight against fascism.

◾️ Western leaders are playing with fire, ignorance of history leads to a lack of understanding of the dangers that threaten them, and this applies to the revival of fascism.

◾️ The young generation in European countries simply does not know who fought with whom in the Second World War, they have not been taught about it.

◾️Russia must tell about the role of the Soviet people in the struggle against fascism.

🤖 Russia’s robotizing its capital Moscow!

Moscow has given the go-ahead for the first stage of an unmanned tram service.

The most up-to-date lidars (light detection and ranging system) have been installed on the vehicle to obtain data on the tram's location as accurately as possible and provide a 360-degree view.

During the first stage of testing, a driver is in the cab and the system repeats almost all of his actions and corrects human decisions in case of mistakes. The tram sees obstacles in advance and stops in time if someone steps on the tracks.

By the end of 2025, Moscow plans to launch a completely driverless tram for passenger travel, Deputy Mayor of Moscow Maxim Liksutov has said.

👉 Check our video to see the new driverless tram, as well as other autonomous mechanisms operating in Moscow.
