drivebuddyAI Demonstrates Advanced ADAS Technology in India

Ahmedabad-based drivebuddyAI, a pioneer in AI-powered Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), demonstrated its cutting-edge safety solutions at India’s first dedicated ADAS test track, developed by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). Following its global debut at CES 2026, the company brought its AI- and vision-based technologies to Indian roads, showcasing systems engineered to handle the country’s diverse and complex driving conditions.

Live Demonstrations Highlight Comprehensive Safety Features

At the ADAS Test City, drivebuddyAI conducted on-track demonstrations using Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs), integrating multiple safety scenarios on a single platform. The AIS-184 Driver Monitoring System alerted drivers for drowsiness, distraction, seatbelt usage, and mobile phone activity, while the AIS-187 Moving Off Information System detected pedestrians within a 1–5 metre range. The AIS-186 Blind Spot Information System identified cyclists in potential impact zones, and forward collision warning used radar-camera fusion for dynamic traffic awareness.

What set the demonstration apart was the unified hardware platform running a single application, enabling multi-camera 360-degree perception. This integration not only ensures regulatory compliance but also shows practical benefits for real-world operations beyond standard test scenarios.

Proven Technology Backed by Billions of Kilometres

drivebuddyAI’s ADAS solutions have been validated over nearly four billion kilometres of driving data. According to the company, the systems have reduced drowsiness-related incidents by 80% and cut overall fleet risk by more than 70%. The technology complies with India’s AIS-184 standard and aligns with the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR)2144, as well as EURO NCAP 2026 driver engagement protocols. While demonstrations focused on commercial vehicles (M2, M3, N2, N3), the platform is fully scalable to passenger vehicles (M1 category), offering OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers a future-ready safety solution.

Industry Recognition and Market Impact

Nisarg Pandya, CEO and Founder of drivebuddyAI, highlighted that the ADAS Test City provides a significant platform for companies to showcase live vehicle demonstrations to industry stakeholders. The strong turnout reflected confidence in drivebuddyAI’s solutions and growing market demand for safety technologies suited to Indian driving conditions. Pandya emphasized that ADAS-compliant vehicles must deliver real-world performance to effectively reduce road fatalities.

By first deploying AI-driven ADAS in fleet environments and validating it over billions of kilometres, drivebuddyAI has developed a mature, field-tested system before rolling it out for OEM compliance. This approach combines regulatory alignment with superior user experience, reliability, and operational efficiency.
