In a major step forward for India’s automotive innovation, a driverless car jointly developed by Wipro, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and RV College of Engineering was showcased for the first time in Bengaluru. The project, which began in 2019, represents six years of collaborative effort by researchers, students, and engineers.
Designed to tackle India’s challenging road conditions, the car uses a combination of cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to navigate uneven roads, heavy traffic, and random obstacles without human control. During a recent test run at RV College, the car was seen driving smoothly on campus with a passenger inside, drawing widespread attention and appreciation online.
Experts believe the project marks a vital learning stage in developing self-driving technology suited for Indian roads. While the vehicle is still in its testing phase, it offers valuable insights into improving safety systems and real-time responsiveness to unpredictable traffic patterns.
The successful demonstration has been hailed as a significant achievement, highlighting how India’s growing research and engineering talent is steadily advancing toward practical, homegrown solutions for autonomous mobility.
