Punjab has taken a groundbreaking step in modernizing its licensing system by introducing Pakistan’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered driving test car, developed on the special instructions of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif.
The smart vehicle, designed and built by the Traffic Police, aims to make driving tests more transparent, fully automated, and free from human influence.
DIG Traffic Waqas Nazir said the car is equipped with modern cameras and sensors that can automatically assess candidates’ performance.
Inside, the vehicle features a facial recognition camera and a biometric fingerprint scanner, while four external cameras record driving behavior during the test.
Once a candidate sits in the car, the system activates automatically, providing test instructions, a countdown timer, and checks for safety features like the handbrake and seatbelt.
The AI-powered system can also automatically declare a failure, such as if a candidate engages reverse gear more than once.
Test results are updated instantly without requiring any manual input.
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.
