Surat Students Build India's First AI-Powered Driverless Electric Motorcycle
Meet Garuda, a made-in-India AI-powered driverless electric motorcycle built by Surat students · financialexpress.com

Three students from Surat, India, built a special electric motorcycle called Garuda.

It's the first of its kind in India because it can drive itself using AI.

They used a lot of recycled materials and a small computer called Raspberry Pi to make it work.

The motorcycle can understand voice commands, has special wheels without hubs, and can even charge your phone wirelessly.

It's very safe because it has sensors that help it stop automatically if there's something in its way.

The battery lasts a long time and can be fully charged in just two hours.

The students spent about a year and some money to build it, and it's a great example of how you can make cool things with recycled materials.
