India to Mandate Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Systems for New Vehicles by 2028
India plans to mandate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems in new vehicles from 2027-2028 to enhance road safety. This wireless technology enables vehicles to exchange real-time data on speed, location, direction, and braking, alerting drivers to potential hazards beyond their line of sight. The government aims to reduce road accidents by improving hazard awareness, with phased implementation covering two-wheelers, passenger, and commercial vehicles. Challenges include cost, compatibility, and cybersecurity considerations.
