Engineering students in Trivandrum develop assisted driving product for disabled community

Thiruvananthapuram | Saturday | 3rd August, 2019

Summary:

Coming to their aid is a group of mechanical engineering students from Mohandas College of Engineering and Technology in Thiruvananthapuram. They have designed and developed a product — Assistive Driving Mechanism for Rickshaw — for the differently-abled community. The product that was installed in two and three-wheelers was proposed to the students by their seniors. Pradeep also said that they plan to implement the assisted driving mechanism mostly in e-autorickshaws so that it is environmental-friendly and also help handicapped people get a licence to drive. Although the prototype has been made, the startup team is yet to launch it among the disabled community due to lack of funds..
