The video garnered more than fourteen thousand views, and people from all over the country commented on it. Some users even compared the vehicle to an "Indian cyber truck," while others were fascinated by its abilities and how it operates.
The driverless car featured in the video is called zPod, and it's developed by Minus Zero, an AI startup based in Bengaluru. This vehicle is being hailed as India's first driverless autonomous car. The company specializes in creating and distributing autonomous driving technology to improve the existing ADAS suite.
Speaking of the vehicle,the zPod is a level 5 autonomous vehicle equipped with a camera system. This technology enables the pod to operate in different geographical and environmental conditions without the need for any human intervention.
The zPod can carry four people and features a distinctive seating arrangement where the seats face each other. Unlike traditional cars, there are no usual controls and layouts present in the vehicle.
The vehicle's built-in AI system takes care of all the driving responsibilities. It uses data from the inbuilt six cameras to analyze real-time information and make informed decisions while on the move.
Even though it was caught testing on public roads, Minus Zero has no intentions to release the zPod as a commercial product. The AI firm stated that they might introduce a limited number of zPods for use in institutions, within restricted areas.
