What are Driverless Vehicles?

Driverless vehicles, also known as autonomous or self-driving vehicles, are vehicles that can operate, navigate and sense their environment without any human involvement. These vehicles use a combination of sensors, actuators, complex algorithms and machine learning systems to perceive the environment around them, analyze data and then make decisions to control it’s movements.

THE WORKSHOP

Registration ends on August 30, 2023
Online Sessions from September until November 2023
Participation and Evaluations involved in Final Certification

Purpose

The Formula Bharat Driverless Vehicle Workshop provides participants with the opportunity to connect with experts, researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to on their insights, research findings, and best practices related to driverless vehicles.
