"The trial run, which will last for three months, includes testing autonomous technologies, ensuring high safety of individuals and protecting surrounding properties. It illustrates the RTA's keenness to adopting highly efficient, safe and reliable technologies in delivering smart services," Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of Public Transport Agency, said.
