Bhavish Agarwal, co-founder and CEO of Ola Electric, has made an ambitious claim that the company will introduce its first autonomous car in almost two years. The development was announced recently, when Agarwal was speaking to the media at the Ola Future factory in Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district. The head of Ola Cabs and Ola Electric said that the company has been testing an autonomous vehicle for about six months and the car will be launched in global markets by the end of 2023 or early 2024.
Agarwal told reporters that Ola is looking forward to launch a car with indigenously developed autonomous technology which will be a mass market vehicle.
“Ola Electric started testing an autonomous vehicle about six months ago and it will be launched in global markets by the end of 2023 or early 2024,” he added.
Bhavish has claimed that the aim is to introduce the car for around ₹10 lakh so that more and more people can buy it.

Bhavish Aggarwal says that the aim is to offer the car for around ₹10 lakh so that more and more people can buy it.
This ambitious announcement comes at a time when Ola Electric, along with several other electric two-wheeler manufacturers, is facing heat from consumers and authorities for fire incidents in electric vehicles. Earlier on 26 March a video of one Ola’s scooter caught on fire went viral on the internet. Apart from this, the company is also facing delivery constraints due to shortage of semiconductors. In fact, the company has recently recalled more than 1400 units of Ola S1 Pro scooters to check fire hazards. And the company shifting its focus to autonomous cars before solving problems with handheld electric scooters will certainly raise a few eyebrows.

Ola also recently showcased a self-driving cart that uses LiDAR at the company’s manufacturing facility in Pochampally. The company says that the autonomous cart will be exported from India to other countries and will be used in hospitals, malls, offices and public places. Additionally, Agarwal said that Ola Electric is also planning to launch the low-cost Ola S1 scooter later this year.
