ASTANA, Kazakhstan, December 26. Kazakhstan
will launch a pilot project to test unmanned transport technologies
as part of efforts to introduce innovative mobility systems,
Kazakhstan's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Artificial
Intelligence and Digital Development, Zhaslan Madiyev, said at a
press conference summarizing the year’s results, Trend reports via the Kazakh
government.
Madiyev emphasized that the country has already established the
foundational conditions required for the deployment of advanced
transportation solutions. In the near future, the technology will
be launched in a pilot phase to assess its key components and
identify further areas for development. This phased approach is
designed to facilitate the eventual expansion of the project across
broader regions.
“We are initiating a pilot launch to evaluate and identify which
components need refinement. A designated zone will be established
to ensure a secure environment for testing the technology. Based on
the findings, we will formulate standards for road infrastructure,”
Madiyev explained.
He further noted that following the pilot phase, minimum road
infrastructure requirements will be established to support the
full-scale implementation of such technologies throughout
Kazakhstan.
Earlier, at the Digital Bridge 2025 forum, domestic IT company
Jet Sharing announced plans to launch a pilot unmanned mobility
project with the possibility of full commercial deployment by 2027.
The project is based on an artificial intelligence system that
manages vehicle movement, order distribution, and pricing. One of
the key tasks will be the creation of a high-precision 3D map of
the city for navigation purposes. Alatau City is currently being
considered as the pilot launch site.
