In the current era where major automotive companies around the world are heavily investing in and developing autonomous driving technology, there's a notable exception—India. This "exception" has sparked considerable interest, and we're diving into the topic with our automotive electronics editor.
A recent report highlights that India's Minister of Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has clearly stated that driverless cars will not be allowed on Indian roads. His position is firm: “We will not allow driverless cars to be on the road in India.†Unlike countries such as the U.S., South Korea, Germany, and Australia, where autonomous vehicles are being tested, India remains resistant to this technological shift.
This decision isn't primarily about safety concerns. Rather, it appears to be driven by economic and social factors. The minister emphasized that India cannot afford to lose jobs, especially in a country with high unemployment rates. He explained, “We will not adopt any technology that takes away jobs. In a country with a high unemployment rate, you cannot let people lose their jobs just for the sake of technology.â€
Although India currently lacks 22,000 commercial drivers, the government is actively working to address this issue by expanding training programs across the country. The goal is to train 5,000 professional drivers within the next few years.
However, industry leaders like Uber’s former CEO Travis Kalanick and Google’s Sundar Pichai suggest that India may not see widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles in the near future. Despite this, companies like Tata Elxsi are still exploring solutions by testing self-driving technologies under local road conditions. These tests aim to simulate real-world scenarios, including pedestrians, animals, and unclear signage, while adhering to India’s current regulations.
It remains to be seen how these developments will impact India’s approach to autonomous driving. For now, the country continues to prioritize job preservation over rapid technological advancement in the automotive sector.
