If you are one of those who like bike rides but are not a fan of riding, Indian students have brought a solution for you. They have built Garuda, the world’s first AI-powered autonomous motorcycle.

Now you don’t need a rider to move. Just take the back seat and enjoy.

How Was Garuda Created?

Garuda was created by a group of young engineering students who wanted to prove that India can be at the front line of AI and robotics. Instead of just dreaming, they rolled up their sleeves and built something that most people would call impossible.

The students wanted to show how AI can make mobility safer and smarter. They created a bike that can sense obstacles and avoid accidents. It can even navigate through roads on its own. And all this in a college lab!

What Are The Features Of Garuda?

The self-driving ability is what make its unique. In addition to that, it also has some additional features.

1. It can balance itself without a rider
2. Move forward and turn on its own
3. Detect surroundings and react to them
4. Make riding safer by reducing human error

You can call it a two-wheeler version of a Tesla.

Why We Need Autonomous Motorcycles in India

In India, road accidents are a serious issue. Humans tend to make mistakes like overspeeding or ignoring signals. But once programmed, an AI bike will never make such mistakes unless a malfunction happens, which will still be a rare case. This way, we can save thousands of lives.

It also opens doors to new ways of using bikes. AI-powered bikes can be used at odd hours in case of an emergency.

A Big Cheers for Young Innovators

Let’s raise a toast to the spirit of the students who built it. They didn’t have big company funding or fancy labs like in Silicon Valley. What they had was creativity and teamwork.

Garuda is proof that when young minds are given space to dream, they can create something that inspires the world.

Of course, Garuda is still at the prototype stage. There’s a lot more work needed before such bikes can be seen on our roads. But the first step has been taken, and it’s a huge one.
