The driverless car was developed at the cost 3 lakhs which is approximately RM17, 200.
Inspired by Google’s driverless car, a group of Indian students and professors from Amiraj College of Engineering in Gujarat, India, have developed a driverless car of their own design.
The prototype, using a Hyundai i10, was completed in a record 28 days. It accelerates up to 100kmph and can also be controlled with an Android application.
The driverless vehicle has 5 seats, a screen displaying the route and has a set of sensors that allows the vehicle’s computer to determine its location and surroundings. Furthermore, it has 6 night vision cameras to avoid accidents. Without the help of humans, the prototype can speed, steer, shift gears and apply brakes via the application.

It is interesting to know that a driverless vehicle was created in a short duration with a low costing. Perhaps, we would soon see driverless cars hitting the road as the Indians have proven that this technology can be inexpensive for humans to consume.
