road safety through impactful initiatives across the country. Our government is committed to improving
road safety in Tamil Nadu and this collaboration with Maruti Suzuki to establish automated driving license
test tracks is a step in that direction. I am confident it will reinforce disciplined driving behaviour and
enhance road safety standards across the state.”
Mr. Rahul Bharti, Senior Executive Officer, Corporate Affairs, Maruti Suzuki, said, “We are honoured to
partner with the Government of Tamil Nadu to introduce Automated Driving Test Tracks in the state.
Automated driving license testing ensures a comprehensive, rigorous, transparent, and efficient

through this process. We believe that disciplined driving by these skilled drivers can contribute to safer
roads. This initiative is a humble contribution by Maruti Suzuki to strengthen road safety in Tamil Nadu.”
