We are in disruptive times, where things are happening at a faster-than-ever pace. While that is so, it may also be worthwhile to pause and take good stock of where we are in terms of sustainable mobility. And, as we know, sustainability is not only about emissions. It’s also about safety, and efficiency.

India’s ER&D industry: a growing tech powerhouse

Electrification, ADAS, Autonomous Driving can make a big difference. Be it these megatrends, or the increasing software technology usage in the shrinking vehicle development cycle, India’s ER&D industry players are taking big strides in offering solutions for global applications. In this exclusive discussion, recorded on the sidelines of the 2024 NASSCOM Design and Engineering Summit, industry leaders share valuable insights on navigating the sustainability challenges, and innovations in the auto industry.

Navigating Sustainability Challenges, and Innovations in the Automotive Industry


Autonomous Driving tech gets a fillip in USA

The earlier highly hyped Autonomous Driving (AD), many say, entered a technology winter due to multiple challenges.While some shelved their AD plans, many aren’t giving up yet. Tesla is one among them. With Donald Trump back as President, close aide Elon Musk’s AD ambitions may have just got a shot in the arm.
