The Tech-Savvy Student: How a Young Man’s Innovative Skills Set Social Media Ablaze.

As seen in a shared video, Ehsan Zafar Abbasi can maneuver the car without touching the steering wheel. The student sat in the back seat and demonstrated how he could start the vehicle by pressing keys on a keyboard. He then continued to tap the keyboard to navigate the car through the streets.

Drawing inspiration from racing video games such as GTA and Racing Simulators, Ehsan spent six months experimenting and approximately $1,000 (25 million VND) to convert the car to this new driving mode.

Due to limited internet access in his rural area, Abbasi self-studied electronics and mechanics by conducting experiments in a small room under the staircase. He purchased second-hand electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, printers, scanners, projectors, and juicers from a flea market and then disassembled them to gain knowledge.

The young man successfully converted the car’s manual controls into a computer keyboard-operated system. Functions like braking, acceleration, steering, wipers, lights, turn signals, horn, and even starting and stopping the engine were programmed and controlled using keyboard buttons.

Prior to this keyboard-controlled car project, Abbasi had invented an anti-theft device for vehicles, integrating mobile technology. This device allows users to call and remotely activate the brakes if their car is stolen.

Despite his lack of formal training, Abbasi is determined to excel in his university studies to become an engineer. His dream is to establish a multinational automotive company like Tesla in Pakistan, and he aspires to study at top global institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, USA).
