Bhavish Aggarwal, the co-founder of Ola Electric, unveiled Solo on social media platform X on Monday, highlighting its revolutionary attributes. Aggarwal emphasized Solo's potential to disrupt ride-hailing and local commerce with its autonomy and intelligence.
Key features of Ola Solo include a multilingual voice interface, powered by Krutrim's AI technology, enabling interaction in 22 languages. Safety is prioritized with facial recognition technology for helmet activation and high-resolution cameras for object recognition and lane detection.
Solo's real-time traffic analysis, facilitated by Ola's proprietary chip, ensures seamless navigation through city streets. Additionally, its 'Human Mode' fosters friendly interactions with other vehicles and roadside vendors. The scooter enhances safety further with vibrating seat alerts, providing warnings for potential hazards.
For added convenience, Solo introduces 'Vishram Mode,' autonomously locating the nearest hypercharger when the battery is low, ensuring uninterrupted journeys. Moreover, the 'Summon Mode' feature on the Ola app allows users to request a Solo, which autonomously picks them up, redefining mobility-on-demand.
Ola Electric states that Solo employs laser pulses for distance measurement and utilizes precise 3D mapping of surroundings, enhancing its spatial awareness and navigation capabilities.
