One of the innovations was the Levc Tx5 model presented by Baku Taxi Service LLC with a new electric motor. New taxis powered by electricity are environmentally friendly. Taxis, where smart technologies are widely used, are safe for both drivers and passengers. So, the car itself warns the driver about speed limits on the road. If the driver loses control or changes the trajectory, special sensors transmit relevant information to the driver. In an emergency, an automatic brake system is activated. If the door opens while driving, the car stops immediately. Special ramps are installed for people with disabilities, and the seat opens outside the car. An opportunity has been created for the visually impaired, so they can have communication with the driver using Braille. Cars can be charged both at home and in specially designated locations. Cars have USB ports, Wi-Fi and GPS.
