ABBOTTABAD: In a remarkable achievement for Pakistan’s tech sector, Ehsan Zafar Abbasi, a young innovator from Abbottabad, has successfully conducted an experiment to operate a driverless car using an internet satellite connection.
According to details, Ehsan Zafar Abbasi developed and tested a system that allows a vehicle to be driven remotely without a driver on board, relying entirely on satellite-based internet for real-time control and navigation. This successful trial is being seen as a major step toward autonomous vehicle technology in Pakistan.
The experiment demonstrates the potential of using satellite internet to control vehicles in areas with limited traditional network coverage, which could be especially useful in mountainous regions like Hazara and Gilgit-Baltistan. Experts say that such technology could open new possibilities for transportation, logistics, and emergency services in remote areas of the country. It could also reduce road accidents caused by human error in the future.
Ehsan’s achievement has been widely appreciated on social media, with many calling him an inspiration for Pakistani youth interested in science, technology, and innovation.
Officials and tech experts have urged relevant authorities and institutions to support young innovators like Ehsan Zafar Abbasi so that Pakistan can advance in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, and smart mobility.
