Karachi is pioneering autonomous vehicle technology in Pakistan with the development of its first AI-powered driverless car. This groundbreaking initiative uses artificial intelligence and machine learning for safe and efficient navigation, bringing Pakistan’s first AI-powered driverless car closer to reality.
NCAI at NED University Leads the Way
The National Centre for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) at NED University of Engineering and Technology is leading this project, marking Pakistan’s first AI-driven driverless car initiative. This is a significant technological leap, with no similar projects currently in Pakistan.
Driverless Car Testing and Development
NED University will be the first Pakistani institution to test a driverless car on campus roads within six months. A Chinese electric vehicle is being modified with AI-based software and hardware for autonomous navigation.
Technological Advancements and Challenges
Project Director Dr. Mohammad Khurram highlights progress in AI, data control, and software. The team is focusing on real-time vehicle control for diverse driving conditions.
Key Features and Capabilities
Research students Inzamam and Aleema confirm completed vehicle mapping. Advanced machine learning algorithms handle speed limits, object detection, lane recognition, and obstacle avoidance. Ongoing work includes refining signal light recognition, steering control, and automated braking.
A Step Towards Smart Mobility
The NCAI at NED University, one of nine government-established AI research centers, is driving AI innovation in Pakistan. This initiative represents a major advancement in smart mobility, paving the way for autonomous vehicles that could transform public transport and urban mobility.
