TL;DR
India plans to mandate Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication in new vehicles from 2028 to enhance road safety by providing real-time hazard alerts and fostering connected mobility.
The Indian government has proposed making Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication systems mandatory in all new vehicles from 2028. This ambitious initiative aims to significantly improve road safety through real-time alerts, connected mobility, and advanced intelligent transportation technologies.
The proposed framework, outlined in a draft notification to amend the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, will enable vehicles to exchange information wirelessly, such as speed, location, and braking alerts. This technology is expected to provide drivers with advance warnings about potential hazards not visible to human eyes or conventional sensors, thereby reducing accident risks and fostering a smarter, more connected transportation ecosystem.
