Shahjalal University of Science and Technology students' team 'SUST Autodrive' will participate in the final round of the international mobility competition 'Bosch Mobility Challenge-2024' in Romania.

The team will compete there as the only team from Bangladesh.

This matter was confirmed on the website of 'Bosch Mobility Challenge-2024'.

'SUST Autodrive' is a team of the university students who are particularly interested in developing automated driving technology and autonomous vehicles, said team member Shafi Abdullah.

“At the 'Bosch Mobility Challenge', our team won over the judges with innovative ideas, designs and methods. Our main objective was to create a vehicle that could systematically interact with traffic signals, road conditions, and other vehicles to drive safely and efficiently.”

Shafi said, “This journey was not easy for us. After a series of technical questions and several rounds of interviews, the organisers selected us to participate in the final round of the competition.

“In this case, the organisers sent us a 1:10 scale car from their company for testing our code and all other technologies. With this car, we will actually participate in the final round, which will be held in Romania,” he added.
