Russia has developed an autopilot based on LADA Vesta​

NAMI Federal State Unitary Enterprise has presented NAMI Self-Driving System, which is capable of automating the movement of any car, truck or robotic vehicle. It uses secure software, algorithms, neural networks and databases developed at NAMI for training, the agency said in a statement. NAMI Self-Driving System can be installed on any car or truck, on robotic vehicles.
Deep integration of NAMI Self-Driving System during the vehicle development phase is also available. The system has undergone extensive testing, including tests on public roads on domestically produced cars of Russian and foreign brands, including LADA Vesta. As the press service of NAMI FSUE told TASS news agency, within the framework of tests conducted by the institute, unmanned cars have traveled about 10,000 kilometers on public roads in 2023.
The current equipment of car with software and hardware allows it to successfully navigate city streets, pass intersections, rearrange lanes, follow traffic signals, comply with prescribed speed limits, etc. For safety reasons, a test driver can sit behind the wheel of the car without being prevented from driving the car in the same way as a conventional non-automated vehicle. The system is designed in such a way that, if necessary, it is possible to instantly intercept control from the automated system to the driver, NAMI explained. In general, cars move at the speeds of urban flow, attention is paid to regulating speed limits near crosswalks, before intersections.
"The system of automatic car control, which is being developed by Russian scientists, will reduce the cost of passenger transportation in cabs and make cargo transportation cheaper. I am sure that such technologies will be actively used by most automakers in the near future," said Denis Yendachev, executive director for information and intelligent systems at NAMI FSUE.

Chery Tiggo 8 PRO Max has received affordable configurations​

Chery Tiggo 8 PRO Max crossover range has new, more affordable configurations. Now, in addition to all-wheel drive versions Dreamline AWD and Ultimate AWD, the car is available in two modifications with front-wheel drive and 1.6-litre engine, writes the portal "Chinese cars".
It should be noted that earlier the Russian market left Chery Tiggo 8 PRO crossover, which was sold in our country at the same time with its updated version Tiggo 8 PRO Max, and, unlike it, did not have all-wheel drive and was more affordable. Now in the Russian market there are more affordable versions of updated Tiggo 8 PRO Max with equipment similar to that of 8 PRO. Elite FWD and Dreamline FWD configurations cost 3 million 200 thousand rubles and 3 million 450 thousand rubles respectively. Thus, the initial cost of Tiggo 8 PRO Max has decreased by 700 thousand rubles.
Under the bonnet of these cars is a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an output of 186 hp, which works in combination with a "robot" and front-wheel drive. In fact, this is the updated version of Tiggo 8 PRO, which thus returned to the market.

I'm digging this car.
