Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) Bengaluru
Explanation:
• Kanarys Automations Limited successfully conducted trials for India's first driverless logistics truck in Bengaluru in July 2025.
• The trials took place in a controlled industrial corridor to test autonomous navigation and safety protocols.
• The truck uses LiDAR, Radar, and AI-based computer vision to navigate without human intervention.
• This technology aims to solve driver shortages and improve safety in long-haul logistics.
• Bengaluru was chosen due to its robust tech ecosystem and presence of R&D facilities.
Information Booster:
• Autonomous vehicles (AVs) in India are currently tested under 'Level 4' automation in restricted environments.
• The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is drafting guidelines for the testing of autonomous technology on public roads.
Additional Knowledge:
Gurugram (Option a)
• A hub for logistics companies, but the specific Kanarys trial was not conducted here.
Hyderabad (Option c)
• Known for Genome Valley and IT, it is a secondary hub for AI but wasn't the trial site.
Pune (Option d)
• Known as the 'Automobile Hub of India', it hosts many traditional manufacturing trials but not this specific autonomous truck trial.
So the correct answer is (b)
