The Transport Administration-licensed drivers and road-legal remote-controlled cars from Elmo were integrated into a real-world car-sharing program last year. Both Tallinn and Tartu’s streets are now regularly serviced by remote-controlled vehicles.
Elmo’s remote-controlled cars have been driven and shown to customers in the streets of Paris, Munich, Hannover, Zurich, Vienna, Helsinki, Los Angeles, and many other major cities with the aim of licensing the technology.
More than 50 customers interested in the licensed technology are currently in negotiations, and preparations are being made to allow driving on public roads in at least two foreign cities this summer.
