Maruti to setup ‘Automated Driving Test Centres’ in Delhi

Maruti Suzuki is partnering with the government of Delhi to setup automated driving test centres. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) will be signed soon, formally kicking off the project.

As part of the initiative, Maruti Suzuki will setup driving test centres complete with automated testing systems at 10 locations in Delhi. The centres will have scientifically laid out driving test tracks and will use high definition cameras and video analysis to assess the driving behavior of applicants. According to Maruti Suzuki, this will make the process of issuing a driving license more transparent and efficient, while properly testing the driving skills of the candidates.

The new automated driving test centres will be built over the next 12 months. Maruti Suzuki will operate and maintain the facilities for the next 3 years. The company is investing Rs. 10 crore into this project.

These automated driving test centres will be set up in phases. In the first phase test centres will be opened at DTC terminals at Hauz Khas, Shakur Basti, Raja Garden, Pratap Nagar and Hari Nagar; DTI, Burari; IDTR Loni Road and IDTR Sarai Kale Khan and at Transport Department offices in Rohini, Jharoda Kalan and Dwarka.
