Many companies are investing a lot of money in research of autonomous driving technology. It may be a revolution among auto industry in near future. But is it possible to implement this technology in countries like India while considering the worst road and traffic conditions? I am 47 years old. Can I hope to see the technology roll in india in my lifetime?

There is no definite answer to this question as it depends on a variety of factors, including the level of development and maturity of the autonomous driving technology, the regulatory environment in India, and the willingness and ability of car manufacturers and other stakeholders to invest in the technology. However, it is definitely possible that autonomous driving technology will become widespread in India in the future, provided that the necessary infrastructure and regulatory frameworks are in place.

So far the answer is no. India's transport and road minister, Nitin Gadkari, was adamant in stating to the press that the country is not going to allow autonomous cars there. According to the minister, the measure aims to preserve the jobs of Indians.

They do not want autonomous cars taking jobs from people.

I don't think it will happen in India in next 60 years. As you know the most pathetic traffic system in the world and worse road conditions in rural areas will be there even after decades.
The corrupt politicians will never ever bring the country to that level except the super metro cities in India.  In northern states rich are super rich and poor are very poor. Only Punjab and Kerala are somewhat different by which almost all have better standard of living. Still roads are pathetic. Corruption in government is the main thing that pulling back the country's development so as roads and infrastructure.
Wish you may live another hundred more years to see any change. Jai hind

On Tuesday, road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said driverless cars will not be allowed in India because the government will not promote any technology that comes at the cost of jobs. Self driving cars require minimal or no human intervention.

It is very likely that the technology of autonomous driving will be implemented in India in the near future. The Indian government is already investing in the research and development of this technology, and several companies are looking to bring it to India. Additionally, the majority of India's roads have improved in recent years, and the traffic situation is also improving. Therefore, it is very plausible that you could see autonomous driving become a reality in India during your lifetime.

It's likely that autonomous driving will eventually happen in India, but there are challenges to overcome such as infrastructure, regulations, and public acceptance.

 Many factors influence the chance of see autonomous driving in the near future, including technology development, open terrain, and available transportation. While it is possible to wait for the right conditions, it is also possible that this technology is not waiting for you.

self-driving cars have the potential to bring about significant benefits, several challenges must be overcome before they can be widely adopted in India. 1. Lack of infrastructure: One of the main challenges for the future of autonomous vehicles in India is the lack of infrastructure and regulations

Autonomous driving in India faces several unique challenges, but it is not impossible. The successful implementation of autonomous vehicles in India depends on overcoming various hurdles:

1. **Traffic Conditions:** India's roads are known for their chaotic and unpredictable traffic, with a mix of vehicles, pedestrians, and animals. Autonomous systems must be capable of navigating these challenging conditions.

2. **Road Infrastructure:** India has a wide range of road quality, from well-maintained highways to pothole-ridden local roads. Autonomous vehicles need to adapt to diverse road conditions.

3. **Traffic Rules and Signage:** Traffic rules and road signage can vary widely across different states and cities in India. Autonomous systems must recognize and understand local traffic regulations.

4. **Pedestrian Behavior:** Indian cities often have complex and unpredictable pedestrian behavior, including jaywalking and crossing streets at non-designated locations.

5. **Cost of Implementation:** The cost of implementing autonomous driving technology can be a significant barrier, and many parts of India are still developing in terms of infrastructure.

6. **Connectivity and Data:** Autonomous vehicles rely on accurate and up-to-date mapping and real-time data. Ensuring this infrastructure in India can be a challenge.

7. **Safety and Liability:** Determining liability in the event of an accident involving autonomous vehicles is a complex issue that requires legal and regulatory clarity.

Despite these challenges, some companies and organizations have been testing autonomous vehicles in India, and research and development are ongoing. However, it may take more time for widespread autonomous driving to become a reality in India, and it will require collaboration between the government, industry, and technology developers to address the unique challenges of the Indian transportation landscape.

Autonomous driving technology is highly probable to be introduced in India in the near future. The Indian government is actively funding research and development in this field, while various companies are keen on introducing it in the country. Furthermore, India's road infrastructure has seen notable enhancements, and traffic conditions are on the mend. Consequently, witnessing the reality of autonomous driving in India within your lifetime is quite plausible.
