The Lagos State Government is considering the adoption of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions to revolutionize driver training across the state. This development follows a courtesy visit to the Ministry of Transportation by the management of AI Driving Metaverse Group (AIDMG), led by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Daniel Avdagic, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Heimo Hirn.
During the visit, the AIDMG team presented a proposal aimed at transforming driver education through the Lagos State Drivers’ Institute (LASDRI). Central to the initiative is the integration of an AI-powered Driving Metaverse Simulator, designed to assess drivers’ behaviour, skills, and personality using key performance indicators.
Describing the proposal as a “potential game changer,” the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, expressed strong support for the initiative. He underscored the importance of continuous training and re-training of drivers and recommended a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model for its implementation.
Also in attendance were the General Manager of LASDRI, Mrs. Afusat Tiamiyu, her team, top directors from the Ministry of Transportation, and Mr. Franklyn Olushola Frantos, Chief Executive Officer of Toplorgical, a cybersecurity software company.
