Autonomous Blessings: Seer Takes Driverless Car Ride In Bengaluru In A True 'Only In India' Moment | VIRAL VIDEO
Video of Sri Satyatmatheertha Swamiji riding the WIRIN project's driverless car in Bengaluru goes viral. See how Wipro, IISc, & RVCE are building autonomous vehicles for Indian roads.
A viral video of a spiritual leader regarded in high esteem taking a ride in a test autonomous car at a campus of an engineering college in Bengaluru has showcased a major milestone reached by India in developing the self-driving car technology.
Sri Satyatmatheertha Swamiji of Uttaradi Matha was caught on social media sitting peacefully in a driverless car as it drove around the campus of RV College of Engineering (RVCE) during a recent visit.
The concept vehicle is the outcome of collaborative research under the WIRIN (Wipro-IISc Research and Innovation Network) programme. The revolutionary initiative is a collaboration of IT giant Wipro, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and RV College of Engineering.

The collaboration, formalised by a Memorandum of Understanding between Wipro and IISc, looks to push next-generation technologies, with a main concentration on:
Though IISc brings in-depth research capabilities in AI and robotics, RVCE adds the engineering capabilities required for the development of the autonomous vehicle.
The group that is working on the indigenous vehicle is intent on making a system capable enough to tackle the very special challenges of Indian road conditions—a point of difference for global models.

Current Status: The project is still in the development stage.
Next Steps: Teams are currently carrying out in-depth mapping and analysing local road conditions so that the vehicle can safely and smoothly run on public roads.
Launch Timeline: An official launch of the fully developed technology is anticipated in the coming months.
The Bengaluru project is a part of an emerging trend in India's tech scene:
IIT Hyderabad is also building driverless vehicles with off-road use cases in industries such as agriculture and mining, with prototypes already carrying passengers on its campus.
All over the world, auto majors such as Tesla are testing and rolling out driverless technology for ride-hailing services with vigour, having been granted initial approvals for autonomous operations in some areas of the US, including California and Texas.
