India unveils its first indigenous driverless car
A collaboration between Wipro, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and RV College of Engineering has given rise to WIRIN — a self-driving car built entirely in India. The unveiling in Bengaluru marks a defining moment for the country’s research-led innovation and automotive future.
6 years of persistent research
Developed over six years by RV College’s students and faculty under the WIRIN program, the prototype showcases how academic perseverance, combined with industrial collaboration, can drive India toward intelligent mobility.
Collaboration between industry
The WIRIN initiative blends Wipro’s engineering experience with IISc’s R&D strength and RVCE’s youthful innovation. It stands as a model partnership for how corporate-academic collaboration can shape India’s next-gen tech breakthroughs.
Powered by AI, robotics and 5G — The tech heart of WIRIN
WIRIN runs on an advanced ecosystem integrating artificial intelligence, computer vision, robotics, and 5G-based Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication — enabling it to interpret surroundings, make decisions, and navigate autonomously.
Mapping India’s real-world roads
Researchers are training WIRIN’s systems to adapt to India’s unique challenges — from chaotic traffic and uneven roads to unexpected animal crossings — ensuring safety, accuracy, and reliability under diverse driving conditions.
Unveiling ceremony showcases new tech confidence
The official unveiling will be held next month at RV College of Engineering. Meanwhile, the moment symbolized not just a product, but a cultural shift toward self-reliance in deep technology and mobility solutions.
Sri Satyatma Theertha Swamiji takes a ride
A viral video of Sri Satyatma Theertha Swamiji of Uttaradi Matha seated in the car captivated the internet, as the autonomous vehicle glided smoothly across campus — no driver, no manual controls, just homegrown AI in motion.
The road ahead
Researchers are now focused on large-scale testing before WIRIN’s official rollout. With each milestone, India moves closer to a future where autonomous vehicles, AI, and sustainable mobility work hand in hand to redefine how the nation moves.
