Punjab is set to revolutionise its procedure for issuance of driving licenses by introducing cars equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct tests.
According to Traffic Police DIG Waqar Nazeer, the AI-powered cars, developed in Lahore, will handle every stage of the test automatically, aiming to bring transparency and efficiency to the process.
The advanced software installed in the vehicles will evaluate the driver’s performance without human involvement. For instance, if a candidate uses the reverse gear more than once, the system will immediately mark them as failed and shut down the car.
The vehicles will also come equipped with multiple cameras to record every aspect of the test. These cameras will not only assess the applicant’s driving skills but also detect any irregularities during the examination.
Officials confirmed that 200 such AI-enabled vehicles will soon be rolled out across driving test centres in the province. The initiative seeks to standardise testing and eliminate human errors in the evaluation process.
Experts believe the new system will improve driving standards and play a vital role in reducing road accidents.
