World’s First Two-Wheeler with Level-4 ADAS: Ola Solo

The Indian electric automobile manufacturer recently took the wraps off of the world's first fully autonomous electric two-wheeler, called Ola Solo. The indigenous company was seen testing the Level-4 ADAS technology on the S1 series. 

The details of the Ola Solo were revealed via a YouTube video, uploaded by Ola Electric, on April Fools’ Day. Initially, viewers conceived it as a prank, but the founder and CEO of Ola Electric, Bhavish Aggarwal, later clarified that it was a prototype. In fact, the CEO also showcased his innovative product on his personal X (formerly Twitter) handle. 

 

Not just an April fools joke!

Ola Solo: Features and Innovations

The Ola Solo is a test mule to test QUICKIE.AI software, powered by an LMAO 9000 chip for self-ridden technology. As mentioned above, it is still a prototype but it seems, it will take years to get into the market. 

Besides that, the AI-powered LMAO 9000 chip is indigenously developed and analyzes real-time traffic data for navigation.

Another innovative feature offered on this self-ridden prototype is the ‘Vishram’ feature, enabled by Electrosnooze Quantum, which allows this world’s first Indian self-ridden scooter to find the nearest charging station for battery replenishment. 

Ola Electric also boasts of having an in-house developed adaptive algorithm, the JU-Guard, which enhances the autonomous capabilities by analyzing riding style and obstacles to become more user-friendly. 

As per the information, this Ola scooter will also feature a ‘Human mode.’ This mode enables the scooter to interact with human counterparts. 

Conclusion

Ola Electric depicts a paradigm shift towards future mobility, as far as technology and autonomous vehicles are concerned. Besides that, it is great to see an Indian automobile manufacturer representing a significant leap. However, the Ola Solo self-ridden vehicle still needs more research and development, alongside approval before it comes to the masses.
