"The first unmanned tram has been tested in the east of Germany. The vehicle crossed a six-kilometer route along one of the streets of Potsdam. There was a driver in the cabin for the case of an accident," reads the report.
The launch of the tram in operation will take time as it must be fixed to coordinate actions with other road users.
The testing was carried out within the framework of the international exhibition of transport technologies InnoTrans-2018, which is held in Berlin from September 18 to 21, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung writes.
In 2017, the first in the world unmanned tram was launched in the streets of the Chinese province of Shandong. Its capacity is 380 passengers, and the maximum speed is 70 km / h.
