The automated driving test tracks, equipped with high-definition cameras and an integrated IT system, ensure a 100% computerized and transparent process for driving license testing. License applicants are evaluated through a comprehensive test with auto-generated results using technology at the automated driving test tracks. The test is designed to assess candidates according to the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR).
