Pakistan Launches First AI-Powered Driving Test Car to End License Fraud
Pakistan has made history by introducing its first artificial intelligence-powered driving test car in Punjab province. This smart vehicle promises to bring complete transparency to the license testing process.
How Pakistan’s AI Test Car Works
The car features an internal facial recognition camera, four external cameras and a biometric machine for fingerprint verification. DIG Traffic Waqas Nazeer explained that this advanced system ensures fairness in driving tests.
The smart car includes these key features:
- One internal face recognition camera
- Four external monitoring cameras
- Biometric fingerprint scanner
- Automatic instruction system
- Countdown timer for tests
- Handbrake and seatbelt sensors
- AI-powered reverse gear monitoring
AI System Stops Test Cheating
Upon entering the vehicle, candidates will receive automated instructions related to the test. The system also includes a countdown timer, handbrake and seatbelt configuration checks.
The AI system automatically fails candidates who use reverse gear more than once during testing. This prevents common cheating methods used in traditional tests.
Automatic Results Upload System
Test results get uploaded instantly through an automated system. This removes human error and bias from the scoring process. Test vehicles will be armed with smart cameras and sensors that automatically track every wrong turn, missed signal, and sloppy move, exposing unfit drivers instantly.
Punjab Plans 200 AI Test Cars
The AI-based driving test car will first be deployed in Lahore. Authorities confirmed that 200 such vehicles will be manufactured during the current fiscal year and delivered to licensing centers across Punjab.
This expansion will help thousands of license applicants get fair testing across the province.
Benefits of AI-Powered Testing
The smart car system offers several advantages:
- Complete transparency in test evaluation
- No human bias in scoring
- Instant result processing
- Reduced corruption opportunities
- Better qualified drivers on roads
- Consistent testing standards
Technology Features Explained
The biometric system confirms candidate identity before testing starts. Smart cameras monitor every driving action during the test. The AI system analyzes performance and gives automatic pass or fail results.
Officials believe this technology will build public trust in the licensing system. The automated approach ensures only skilled drivers receive licenses.
Future Impact on Road Safety
“This step will slam the door on fraud and guarantee that only skilled drivers hit the roads,” officials said. Better qualified drivers mean safer roads for everyone.
The AI car represents Pakistan’s commitment to using modern technology for public services. This innovation could inspire similar systems across other provinces.
Pakistan joins the global trend of using AI for government services. The smart driving test car shows how technology can solve traditional problems in public administration.
