Hyundai India targets 1 million connected car sales by 2027
India's connected mobility push gains momentum as Hyundai announces 1 million connected car sales by 2027 · thehindubusinessline.com

Hyundai makes cars in India, and many of those cars are 'connected' — they can talk to the internet, their owners, and even other cars.

Hyundai said it has already sold more than eight hundred thousand connected cars in India.

Now the company wants to sell one million connected cars by 2027 and two million by 2030.

The Indian government also wants cars to be safer on the road.

It has proposed a rule that new cars made after October 2028 must be able to talk to each other.

This is called vehicle-to-vehicle, or V2V, communication.

If one car brakes suddenly, it can warn the cars behind it.

The technology can also warn drivers about dangers like crashes or approaching emergency vehicles.

Hyundai's connected car system is called Bluelink, and it offers features like remote commands, location tracking, and safety help.

It has helped many drivers in emergencies and even helped police find stolen vehicles.

So, connected cars are becoming a big part of driving in India.
