DIG Traffic Waqas Nazir explained that the car is equipped with modern cameras and sensors that automatically check the performance of candidates. Inside, the car includes a facial recognition camera and a biometric fingerprint scanner, while four cameras outside record driving behavior.
When a candidate enters the car, the system starts by giving instructions, showing a countdown timer, and checking safety steps like the handbrake and seatbelt. The AI system can even declare failure if rules are broken, such as using reverse gear more than once. Test results are generated instantly without any manual work.
