Journalists found that the Yandex autonomous tractor based on Shacman X6000 distinguished himself with a complex system of cleaning from snow, dirt and reagents. So that 17 cameras, six lidars and five radars always work correctly, it was necessary to stretch 120 meters of hydraulic wiring, install 75 nozzles, and increase the tank of the washing liquid to increase to 80 liters many times!
The developers believe that 80 liters of “non-freezing” are enough for the drone to reach Moscow to St. Petersburg on the M11 highway even in bad weather. Taking into account the distance (669 kilometers), it turns out that the consumption of glass washing fluid will be almost 12 liters per 100 kilometers. Moreover, the “organs of vision” will still need to be wiped with a specially trained person during stops.

The problem of preserving the sensors, lidars and chambers of the drone is not new: there are more difficulties than it seems. For a saddle tractor with a semi -trailer, the question is more acute. The tests of Yandex will be carried out not only on M11 Neva, but also on other routes: M4 Don and M12 Vostok. In total, up to 18 autonomous trucks use drones in drones.
The basis for the tests was the Shacman SX4188YY381 tractor. The Russian authorities have no questions to him, but dump trucks, on -board trucks and chassis SX32586 can be recognized as unsafe at the request of the Prosecutor General. It’s all about the insufficient strength of the rear and side opposite beams.
