Russian defense contractor VPK LLC has developed a driverless, remote-controlled version of the GAZ Tigr, an armored ground vehicle used by the Russian military. According to Russian state media outlet TASS, the new Tigr has a 30mm gun that is also controlled via remote control, and it uses some autonomous technologies, including the ability to "identify and track targets on its own."

TASS recently released a video of the semi-autonomous Tigr on driving runs, and test-firing its gun.
