Mangaluru: A team of staff and students from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte have introduced an innovative android application named ‘Auto Please’ for the benefit of the local public.

The aim of the app is to get a list of auto drivers who are available in a given auto stand of Karkala and Nitte so that the passenger can make a call to them using the information available on the app. The app does not require any registration from the passenger end. Auto drivers have to register with the app by providing their details like name, License number, Photographs, Auto Registration number and mobile number.

The drivers who installed the app will get listed in the customers’ app, only if they are available in the auto stand. The app uses GPS location sharing mechanism from the driver’s end to list out the available driver in the auto stand.

The product was recently launched by Dr.Niranjan N Chiplunkar, Principal, NMAMIT in a virtual mode of event. Mr. Chinthan R K and Mr. Dhvanith U, of 3rd year B.E in Computer Science and Engineering, had developed this free application under the guidance of Dr. Venugopala P. S, Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, NMAMIT. The app is available for free download in the Google play store.
