IIIT-Delhi working on creating man-less E-Rickshaw

In order to provide urban India with a better connectivity, The Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) is working on creating a driverless E-Rickshaw.As of now, the vehicle is being designed to run on the pre-defined routes. After completion, the vehicle would start its functioning within the campus premises and later will provide connectivity on the real roads. "It will do autonomous static obstacle avoidance, lane following, read basic traffic signals, follow speed limits, and navigate through a 3D map," Head of Infosys Centre for Artificial Intelligence at IIIT-Delhi, Mayank Vatsa, who is overseeing the project, said. The project began in April 2016, when the research center was founded."Our current choice of vehicle platform is an electric rickshaw, and currently, we are working on providing shuttle service within the IIIT-Delhi campus," Vatsa said.Other members in the team include Dr Sanjit Kaul, Dr Saket Anand, Dr PB Sujit along with Ph.d students of the institution."We are also hoping to replicate the above on Mahindra's electric car which we received from the company as part of the Mahindra Rise Driverless Car Challenge," he said.
