SOLVING INDIA'S CONNECTED VEHICLE CONUNDRUM

摘要

Connected vehicle technologies have a lot to offer to Indian consumers not only in the form of luxury and comfort but in terms of enhanced safety features as well. Some automakers have already launched their connected vehicles in India. But there are some innate challenges with India such as bandwidth and the regulatory bottlenecks in India, which need to be addressed quickly, to realize the benefits offered by these technologies fully. There are some core challenges that an OEM would have in India when they launch a connected vehicle. What works outside India does not necessarily work in India, and predominantly so from the network perspective. The reason being our networks are different. For example, in India, we have 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, and that doesn't contribute to the connectivity outside of India.
