Indian Government Proposes Mandatory V2V Technology in Vehicles by 2028

Indian Government Proposes Mandatory V2V Technology in Vehicles by 2028

Imagine if cars could talk to each other on the road.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle, or V2V, is a smart feature that lets vehicles communicate.

India's government wants every new car, truck, and bus to have this technology.

They propose making it mandatory starting in October 2028.

Vehicles that already have the technology must comply one year earlier, in October 2027.

This is the government's first concrete step toward making connected safety features standard equipment.

Some cars today have driver-assist features, but V2V is different.

It could make Indian roads safer by helping vehicles share information.

This matters for anyone planning to buy a vehicle in the next few years.
