Driverless Car in India
Driverless Car in India
“In a country where you have unemployment,
you can’t have a technology that ends up taking people’s job”.
The driverless car will not be allowed in India as it will lead to joblessness. The government is focusing on training drivers as adequate driving skills can provide employment to about 50 lakh people. India suffers a huge shortage of 22 lakh drivers. Cab aggregators take advantage of these. If the driverless car technology or policy is promoted in India, it will render people jobless. The government is planning to introduce a cab aggregator platform where commuters could choose any mode of transportation like electric four-wheeler taxes or two-wheeler.
The government will only be a facilitator in this but the platform will bring in more competition and help commuters to have affordable public transportation. The government will promote electric vehicles but would not allow its imports and rather would urge all major automobile companies to manufacture this as per make in India drive. They are also planning to introduce and make GPS and satellite tracking mandatory in all public and private vehicles. It provides safety to the people.
