A prototype of this self-driving electric vehicle (EV) for people of determination (PoD) is currently being tested at a couple of gated communities in Dubai, said Gautam Ahuja of the UAE-based DigiRobotics.
The two-seater Renault Twizy EV has no steering wheel, but works on voice command and touch screen. It has four wheels, can reach a maximum speed of 70-80 kph and run for six hours on a single charge (which takes around two hours). Safety features include anti-collision sensors (front, back and sides) and one 360-degree Lidar (light detection and ranging) camera that uses laser light to sense surfaces and produce highly accurate range measurement.
