"A driverless car built in India by Wipro, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and RV College of Engineering was shown for the first time in Bengaluru. Advertisment The event drew wide attention after a video of Sri Satyatmateertha Swamiji, a well-known spiritual leader, taking a ride in the car. The car is part of a joint research effort to make smart vehicles that can drive safely on Indian roads. India"s Driverless Car by Wipro and IISc The car is part of the Wipro-IISc Research and Innovation Network (WIRIN), launched to create advanced technology for real-world use. Built in collaboration with RV College, the project focuses on solving common challenges on Indian roads such as uneven surfaces, heavy traffic, and random obstacles. According to reports,the project began around 2019 and took six years of work by researchers, students, and engineers. A person from the team said, “This innovation and collaboration is the result of six years of designing and developing an indigenous autonomous car by a team of faculty and students.” The car uses a mix of cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to drive on its own without human control. Though it"s still in the testing stage, the project shows how Indian researchers and engineers are working toward practical solutions for self-driving mobility in the country.

Many online users praised the effort, calling it a big leap for Indian engineering. Experts say that while the car is far from ready for regular use, the project is an important learning stage. It helps teams understand how to handle India"s complex road setups and unpredictable traffic flow. For now, the focus remains on improving safety systems and refining the car"s ability to sense and respond to real-world road situations. But the successful test has given a clear signal that India"s homegrown talent is moving closer to building self-driving technology that fits the country"s needs.
