The Delhi government will sign a pact with Maruti Suzuki India Limited tomorrow for developing 12 automated driving test tracks in different parts of the city. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed with the automobile manufacturer in presence of Lt Governor Anil Baijal and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the LG office, said Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot. With the coming up of the automated tracks, the process of issuing driving licenses by Motor Licencing Officers (MLOs) will assume greater quality and accuracy, he said.
