There is information that the car of domestic production Lada Kalina has become an unmanned vehicle. Photos of the new items were published by FSUE NAMI.

Reference. FSUE "NAMI" - the first and main research institute in the field of automotive technology in Russia. It was founded in 1918, for all the years of its existence, the specialists of the institute have created many useful developments that have been widely used. In 2004, by the Decree of the President, “NAMI” was included in the list of strategic facilities ensuring the defense and security of the state.

Lada Kalina

The electric car Lada Ellada with a maximum engine power of 72.4 kW became the basis for the innovative car. The new unmanned vehicle is able to independently regulate the start and stop of the motor, move in the forward direction, reach a speed of up to 60 km / h, move in reverse at the minimum speed.The car can follow another car, as well as track its location, navigate the markup, emit beeps and overcome obstacles.

A clear disadvantage of the model is its ability to move only for short distances. The maximum duration of the route is only 50 km. Specialists of the Institute are working to increase the duration of a continuous run. The inclusion of the generator set in the prototype has already made it possible to extend the route to 350 km. Work in this direction continues.
