Infosys CEO shows off company's driverless cart

Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka on Friday arrived for a media briefing in a driverless cart, developed indigenously at the company’s Mysuru centre.

The cart is equipped with sensors to sense its environment. Advanced control systems help it identify navigation paths, obstacles and road signage.

Sikka indicated Infosys was upbeat about its artificial intelligence projects. “I drove here to this venue in our own indigenously built autonomous golf cart. This is a test bed that we have built to train thousands of engineers on autonomous driving technology,” Sikka told reporters.

He said the company was renewing its existing services using “the dual forces of automation and innovation”.
