How new tech is being used in Hungary
Change language:
The Hungarian Government has been making targeted strides in positioning the nation as a European leader in technology. In fact, in 2019, the IMF ranked Hungary as joint tech leaders in Europe, alongside Germany. So, how is the country revolutionising and utilising technologies for the better of the economy? Here are five ways Hungary is spearheading tech today.
#1: Self-Driving Vehicles
Hungary is one of the most advanced countries when it comes to testing and implementing self-driving cars. The Zalazone test track was used to test their self-driving vehicles, and then testing was transferred to real-world traffic four years ago with other self-driving cars. Today things are heating up even more with plans to create cars that can communicate with the road via another technology we’ll discuss later – 5G. The immediate step is to start mixing self-driving and manually operated vehicles to see how they perform together.
#2: Live Casino Games
Hungary, especially Budapest, is one of the leading casino hotspots in Europe. People flock from all around the world to enjoy Hungarian casinos and the renowned nightlife. But Hungarians are not just about bricks and mortar casinos. There is an upward trend in the number of players using online casinos specifically for live dealer games. Thanks to sophisticated cameras, software and superfast 5G technology, real casinos are able to stream games from the casino floor, or a studio to websites to players can entertain themselves with roulette, blackjack and more from the comfort of home.
Rather than train line from Budapest to Warsaw, how about a proper high speed train from Budapest to the airport? Lots of years of talk but no action. That would be more beneficial to the economy. Plus it would cost the EU less.
