Shahida Bano, the Inspire National Awardee and winner of the Inventor India Challenge, has come up with a brilliant solution to prevent minors from driving on Indian roads. Her project, a smart vehicle key that uses a fingerprint sensor to detect the age and license number of the driver, has gained a lot of attention at the National Technology Week 2023 in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Shahida was inspired to work on the project after witnessing the devastating impact of road accidents caused by minors in her neighbourhood.
With the guidance of her mentor teacher, Reyaz Ahmad Ganai, she worked tirelessly to develop the smart key, which has the potential to save countless lives on Indian roads.
The smart key works by detecting the driver’s age and license number through a fingerprint sensor. If the driver is underage or doesn’t have a valid license, the key will not allow the vehicle to start. This simple yet effective solution can go a long way in preventing accidents caused by minors who are not legally allowed to drive.
Shahida’s project has been well-received at the National Technology Week 2023, where thousands of innovators from across India are participating. Visitors have praised her innovation and applauded her efforts to make Indian roads safer for everyone.
Shahida and her mentor teacher, Reyaz Ahmad Ganai, are grateful for the opportunity to showcase their project at the National Technology Week 2023. They hope that their innovation will inspire others to come up with solutions that can make a difference in the lives of people across the country.
