In the current era, where major automotive companies around the world are actively pursuing and developing autonomous driving technology, there's a "clear stream" — and this "stream" comes from an unexpected country: India. Let's explore this topic with insights from a car electronics editor.
India has taken a unique stance on the adoption of self-driving cars. According to a recent report, Indian Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari clearly stated, “We will not allow driverless cars to be on the road in India.†His position is firm and clear. While several countries, including the US, South Korea, Germany, and Australia, are testing autonomous vehicles, India remains resistant to such advancements.
This decision isn’t primarily driven by safety concerns. Instead, it seems more likely that the government is trying to protect jobs. As Gadkari explained, “We will not adopt any technology that takes away jobs.†In a nation with a high unemployment rate, the government is cautious about introducing innovations that could displace workers. Although India currently lacks 22,000 commercial drivers, the government is working to train 5,000 new professional drivers over the next few years.
However, some industry leaders believe that India may not see widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles in the near future. Uber’s former CEO, Travis Kalanick, and Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, have both expressed skepticism about the timeline for such technology in India. Despite this, local companies like Tata Elxsi are making efforts to test autonomous vehicles under real-world conditions. Their approach involves simulating Indian roads, which are often chaotic with pedestrians, animals, and unclear traffic signals. These tests aim to provide driverless cars with realistic experience without violating the government’s ban on self-driving technology.
It remains uncertain how these restrictions will impact the long-term strategies of companies like Tata Elxsi. The debate over the future of autonomous driving in India highlights the complex balance between technological progress and social responsibility.
