Ukugqamisa kwe-AV: Yandex

Ukuvikelwa kwamafemu obuchwepheshe bezimoto kujwayele ukugxila emizamweni esekwe e-US. Ukuphumula kuqinisekisiwe, kungahle kube nokunyakaza kwenye indawo. Yandex, ubuchwepheshe obudayiswa esidlangalaleni bobuchwepheshe obukhulu baseRussia obuqale njengenjini yokusesha, luhlobo lwamafemu.

Inkampani iye yanda yaba izindawo ezahlukahlukene, ezihambisanayo (njenge-Google enguzakwabo we-Google) kanye nobuchwepheshe bezimoto ezizenzakalelayo. NgoJanuwari, ngangihamba ngemoto yabo yokuzishayela (engenamuntu ngemuva kwesondo) kuyo yonke idemo emigwaqweni yomphakathi yaseLas Vegas kuyo yonke iCES. Angikaze ngibe umlandeli omkhulu wamademo ngoba kungenzeka asize amafemu afihle izingqinamba ngobuchwepheshe bawo. Idemo likaYandex laliphawuleka noma kunjalo. Imoto ihambe ngokuzethemba, mhlawumbe nangolaka, ngoba ibizungeza ibhasi ebelimile ngaphakathi komgwaqo, ibiphenduka ngamasheya angakwesokunxele ngaphezu kwendawo yokugcina yokupaka kalula. (le GIF evela kuYandex iyidrayivu eMoscow, fyi)

Ngiveza sonke lesi sizinda ngenxa yeYandex esho kuleli sonto ukuthi icisha imoto yayo ezishayelayo eMLU BV - indawo yokugibela abagibeli kanye nokudla okuhlinzeka izindlela ezintathu zokubambisana esebenza ngokubambisana ne-Uber. Ukudluliswa kuza phakathi kwezifundo okuthi uYandex no-Uber bebelokhu bebheka i-IPO yonyaka wokugcina we-MLU. Ngaleso sikhathi, i-JV ilinganiselwa ukuthi ibilinganiselwa kumarandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-7.7.
