The Road Transport Authority (RTA) in Telangana is set to utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) services to enhance transparency in the conduct of driving tests. This move, reported from City Bureau on October 17, 2026, at 12:20 AM IST, aims to curb malpractices in driving examinations.
An RTA team recently studied AI systems successfully implemented in other states. Based on this study, the RTA has decided to introduce AI-based testing procedures across all RTA offices in Telangana.
As part of this initiative, the RTA is preparing to implement the AI process as a pilot project at the Nagole and Kondapur driving tracks first. A successful pilot will likely lead to a broader rollout across the state.
Following revelations of malpractices in driving tests during ACB raids, RTA officials have decided to conduct these tests more rigorously to reduce road accidents. The AI system will conduct the entire examination process without the involvement of middlemen or officials.
This new system will ensure that only individuals with a genuine understanding of driving skills will be able to pass the test. This plays a crucial role in improving road safety and verifying true driving capabilities.
This AI-based approach is a significant step forward for Telangana in improving road safety and enhancing the credibility of the driving licensing process. It will make the process of obtaining a driving license more transparent and efficient.
