Pakistani Startup Makes Waves In Self Driving Technology

Due to the generally increased rivalry in the market, Pakistani automakers have begun to embrace the incorporation of new technologies into their vehicles in recent years. Infotainment systems, satellite navigation systems, cruise control, and other driver-assist technologies are becoming more prevalent in certain vehicles, while others are still catching up.

Nonetheless, the incorporation of these technologies in all automobiles appears to be unavoidable, since they are rapidly becoming a requirement in today’s fast-paced environment, both on and off the road.

The firm was founded in 2019 as a subsidiary of Sedenius Engineering GmBH, a German company that develops software solutions for autonomous and automated driving. In a short period of time, the new firm earned the trust and support of top European automakers such as Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen.

Sedenius Technologies, which has developed a good name in the worldwide market, has its sights set on the booming Pakistani automobile sector.

Aadil Jaleel Choudhry, Chief Technology Officer of Sedenius Technologies, about the company’s operations and future plans.

Current Target Market:

Sedenius Technologies serves the European automobile market. European manufacturers are trying to accelerate the development of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) in order to compete with Tesla, General Motors, and other automakers that excel in this field.

Choudhry pointed out that the development of such systems is also encouraged by the fact that European governments are gradually legislating similar features for manufacturers in order to assure optimum safety on their roads and highways.

The company is currently developing ADAS that is calibrated and modulated by technologies such as the Robot Operating System, Multisensor Data Fusion, and Automotive Data and Time-Triggered Framework, all of which are further polished by multiple virtual test drive modules before being integrated into vehicles.

Sania Nishtar Launches “Ehsaas” Data Exchange Platform

 Sania Nishtar, the government’s point-person on poverty reduction, unveiled the National Data Exchange Platform (NDEP) for the Ehsaas’ National Socioeconomic Registry 2021 on World Poverty Day.

One of the six pillars of One Window Ehsaas is the register. With the completion of the Ehsaas National Socioeconomic Registry 2021 survey, the NDEP will allow data exchange and data access services for all executing agencies overseen by the Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Division (PASSD).

www.fabulouspakistan.com

http://fabulouspakistan.com/sania-nishtar-launches-ehsaas-data-exchange-platform/

This service will eventually be extended to provinces and other government agencies that are undertaking Ehsaas programs.

“Ehsaas NDEP will be a game-changer in revolutionizing social protection and poverty reduction programs in the country,” stated SAPM on Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection Sania Nishtar during the NDEP launch press conference.

She previously claimed that there was no way for one government entity to know what support a person or a family was receiving from another. “Some families with connections and power received many perks, while others who were more worthy received none,” she explained.

However, with Ehsaas NDEP in place, Sania stated, “The executing agencies in the Ehsaas ecosystem will be able to know what advantages an individual or a household is receiving by just entering in an individual’s computerized national identity number.”

More importantly, she stated that the advantages received by each family and individual from each organization will be apparent to all agencies participating in Ehsaas programs.

The advisor to the Prime Minister also complimented the teams working on the national socio-economic survey and technology.

According to a release, the data integration of the Ehsaas survey will also facilitate the deployment of the Ehsaas One Window targeting policy, which Prime Minister Imran Khan approved in the last quarter.
“It will ultimately save program costs, minimize redundancy, optimize beneficiary targeting, and enable efficient and effective policy decisions, planning, and execution,” the document stated.

The cognitive API architectural strategy will protect data sharing. Data will be shared in both directions; agencies with whom data will be shared will be expected to update the registry with their own information.

The NDEP will also be linked to other federal agencies’ databases, allowing for real-time beneficiary information checking.

As a result, the same data exchange infrastructure will underpin the upcoming Ehsaas targeted commodities subsidies programme, which will be implemented in partnership with the USC and the NBP.

The executing agencies of Ehsaas will be able to access data from the unified registry in real-time through this national scale data-sharing network to validate beneficiary information.
