Artificial intelligence plays an integral and indispensable role in the advancing technology. In an era of expeditious human life, the demand for automated devices is increasing rapidly. The growth of smart technology has given room for many applications. Such systems analyze the situation and respond appropriately in accordance to the function they are to perform. In this paper, the mechanism of a smart car for a physically disabled is explained. The concept is based on the use of sensors for direction control and automatic sensing of the presence of any obstruction nearing it. Thus, alerting the driver in the form of a buzzer and LED. The smart car is also equipped with a separate GSM and pressure sensor based Arduino safety alert system. This alerts the caretaker as soon as the driver sits inside the car through a text message. The smart car ensures complete safety of the driver on seat and helps him to move about independently.
