The new vehicle is equipped with rotary cleaning brushes in the front and operates without the need for a driver to control the vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with sensors that detect passersby crossing the roads and apply brakes automatically to avoid collisions.

The vehicle is eco-friendly and can operate at an average speed of 40kmph in normal mode.
