Minus Zero tests autonomous 3W?

Astart-up company, Minus Zero, has successfully tested a re-jigged three-wheeler as an autonomous vehicle for over twokilometres on an unregulated street of Jalandhar, claim sources. They cite a video of the same on YouTube, and mention that the test was conducted with a safety technician sitting in the passenger compartment of the vehicle to manually override the control through software in case of any anomaly.

Stating that the test was carried out by keeping the local authorities in loop, and on their advice a team of volunteers was kept ready at different intervals on the path to moderate traffic or block the path in case of any anomaly in software, sources say that the successful completion of the test adds to the efforts by companies – big and small, in the Indian mobility space to design and develop autonomous vehicles of varying levels. Minus Zero, they add, is keen to build self-driving cars with Level 5 autonomy using AI and LIDAR tech among others.
