Bliq.ai gets the green light for driverless cars in Finland
Bliq.ai has won approval to run driverless cars in Finland, its second EU market after Estonia. First stop is a Helsinki winter.
Europe has another driverless car heading for its roads. Finland has cleared Bliq.ai to operate its Bliq Driverless vehicles on public roads, effective immediately. It is the second EU country to approve the startup, after Estonia in May.
The rollout starts in Helsinki, with a safety driver onboard for now. Testing begins shortly and will run through the Nordic winter. That is the point. Bliq wants to prove its system in one of Europe’s harshest driving environments.
“This approval brings us closer to making driverless mobility part of everyday life across Europe,” said Julian Glaab, Bliq’s chief executive and co-founder. The Helsinki launch will be led by Erik Safonov, who already runs the company’s operations across the Baltics.
