This is the impressive moment a gaming fanatic drove a car he built - controlled entirely by his keyboard.

Ehsan Zafar Abbasi, 20, an engineering student, spent six months and a relatively low 1,000 USD (approximately 805.50 GBP) modifying a white Suzuki Alto hatchback into a self-driving car in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The young innovator - who has no formal training - converted the vehicle's manual controls into a fully functional keyboard-operated system, allowing him to control the brakes, clutch, accelerator, steering, wipers, lights, indicators, horn, and even start and stop the car.

Ehsan, a self-taught electronics enthusiast, said he was inspired by video games like GTA and racing simulators.

For added security, he also installed dual brake, accelerator, and clutch controls - all for a fraction of the cost that Elon Musk spends on developing Tesla cars.

Footage shows the tech-savvy student sitting in the passenger seat, pressing keys on the keyboard to start the engine. He then continues clicking on the keyboard to manoeuvre over a bumpy off-road track.

He said: 'I didn't have any proper training, but I am currently pursuing my engineering degree. I have been experimenting and creating electronics for six years, and I wanted to build something I could be proud of.'

Recently, a homemade replica of a Tesla Cybertruck created by a Pakistani engineer was spotted manoeuvring on the roads of the country.
