The AutoBuddy Story
BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS
"Many believe losing an arm means losing the ability to drive. That is a misconception. I've driven over 100,000 km to prove otherwise, and built AutoBuddy so others can too."
— Yashwant Gaikwad,
Developer, AutoBuddy India
AutoBuddy wasn't designed in a boardroom. It was built by a right-hand (above elbow) amputee who refused to stop driving, and who believed others deserved the same freedom.
