Road accidents cost India 3-5% of gross domestic product every year and are avoidable if India could improve its driver's skills, and enforce strict & proper driving license tests, an India spend analysis shows.
India’s young, productive population, aged 18-45 years, is involved in 70% of road accidents due to lack of proper driving training, according to data from Road Accidents in India 2018, a report published by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
Over 24 years from 2014 to 2038, if India could halve the deaths and injuries due to road traffic, its GDP could increase by 7%, a 2018 World Bank report said.
In 2018, India had 467,044 reported road accidents, an increase of 0.5% from 464,910 in 2017, according to the road ministry’s data.

As many as 73% of all deaths due to road traffic accidents in 2018 in the South and South-East Asia region happened in India, the report said.
What are we doing?
To contribute to our nation's growth, we are proposing an innovative method to train, test, and analyze the driving skills of Indian drivers of heavy and light vehicles both before releasing them on the roads with steering in the hands.
How are we analyzing?
Our AR application with the help of AI is analyzing how many times the driver broke the rules, hit the obstacles in the virtual world by driving in the physical world, and at the end, a whole report is generating whether the test is passed or failed.
The First issue we got is to turn Arduino into a joystick as few of the Software drivers were missing.
later creating and placing objects in the real world was bit challenging.
We ran into an technical issue to connect potentio meter as our steering joystick , that damaged one of our Arduino.
The first apk export faced compactibilty issues.
