Tata motors to introduce autonomous features in its cars

India: Modulating itself according to the technology driven industry, Tata motors is planning to introduce driver assistance features in its models. The global auto industry is investing significantly in terms of resources and time to advance the autonomous car technology.

The leading player of autonomous car industry are OEM like Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Audi, BMW, JLR, Volvo, etc. who are joined by non-automotive players like Google and Apple. Tata motors is also keeping a close check on the developments of self-driving cars so that it can make a perfect start at the right time.

According to Dr. Tim Leverton, Head – Advanced Product Engineering for Tata Motors, stated that the global automakers are very keen for making their impression in the autonomous car industry and it important for Indian car makers to understand the technology as the demand will come to Indian markets also.

Tata will take best advantage of its expertise at its subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover, which is on course of developing its own autonomous car technology, and hope to be benefitted from the competence of its IT wing TATA Consultancy Services (TCS) in the field of robotics.

According to a recent report published by TechSci Research, “Global Autonomous Car Technology Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2035 – ADAS, Semi-Autonomous, Fully-Autonomous” the evolution of autonomous features in passenger cars is garnering attention of consumers across the world and looking at the pace of autonomous car industry, it is said that fully-autonomous cars are expected to be commercially available by 2025, which is expected to translate into dramatic growth in the market.

As per TechSci Research, this move taken by Tata motors is also going to drive the demand for autonomous cars in India. However, it is expected that it will surely take some years before such technologies become practical and cost effective for Indian market condition.
