At the same time, in the fall of 2017, the product Manager of "Yandex.Cards" Anton Ryazanov proposed to the management of the company to launch its own car sharing. Riazanov studied the market, worked out the business model, and presented the project to Yandex's chief operating officer Gregory Abovsky, founder and President Arkady Volozh, and CEO Alexander Shulgin. A special feature of the concept was the use of the "Yandex.Auto", which synced information about the user's frequently used addresses for Navigator and music preferences for streaming services. Official announcement of Yandex.Drive took place in mid-December 2017, and on February 21, 2018 the service began operating in Moscow with a fleet of 750 Kia Rio, Kia Rio X-Line and Renault Kaptur cars.
