Are traditional auto rickshaw drivers losing out to the Tata Magic IRIS which is unfairly taking their business?

Not really. Both can demand enough. Magic IRIS is more of a shared rides on fixed routes niche.

Absolutely! This is killing the auto business. The small operators are being pushed out by these big companies.

It's just market evolution. Auto drivers have to either adapt or seek new opportunities. Can't stop progress.

Both have their place. Autos are better for personal point to point travel and Magic IRIS is better for shared routes.

It's unfair competition. Auto drivers are on their own, but magic IRIS operators have company backing.

Maybe it is time for auto drivers to upgrade. They could just pool resources and buy Magic IRISes for themselves.

The real problem is that it's not regulated. Clearly, we need rules for where each type of vehicle can operate.
Do the Kia Sportage's driver assistance features help or hinder?
06 January 2025 07:29
The driver assists in my Sportage are something I love. Adaptive cruise control is a life saver for highway driving, and lane keep assist just adds that extra layer of safety. They’re sure a bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to them they’re super helpful.

I find them honestly more annoying than helpful. Sometimes the forward collision warning goes off for no reason and the lane keep assist is too aggressive. Most of them I end up turning off, which defeats the purpose.

It's a mixed bag. Great features like blind spot monitoring are some of them. Some of them, like the lane keep assist, can be a little too much. I really wish we could customize the sensitivity of each system individually.

Being a highway driver, I absolutely love the ADAS features. On long trips, they reduce fatigue and have probably saved me from a few close calls. Yes, it has a learning curve, but it's a good one for added safety.

I did not believe it at first, but I now appreciate the driver assist. They’re not perfect, but they’ve helped me become a more aware driver. But you can always turn them off if they are bothering you on a specific drive.
Will the reported focus on rear seat space for the Kia Clavis turn out to be a game changer for Uber/Ola drivers?

But if the rear space is as good as they say, it could be a game changer. Better ratings for drivers come from more comfortable passengers.

I don't know if that's going to make a whole lot of difference. Uber/Ola drivers most of the time go for the cheapest option that qualifies. Will the Clavis be competitive priced?

This isn’t just about space, it’s about durability. We're talking if Kia can prove that the Clavis can stand up to the wear and tear of constant use.

That could be a smart move by Kia. This could be a steady stream of fleet sales into the ride hailing market.

I think it will depend on the fuel efficiency. Drivers care more about running costs, but rear space is great.

If Uber/Ola likes it then their private buyers will be turned off. In India, there’s a stigma around ‘taxi models’.

That's an interesting angle, but I think Kia's really more focused on family buyers. It would be a bonus to the ride hailing market rather than the main target.
Why is this the case? Why do Creta drivers get such a bad reputation on Indian roads?
02 January 2025 07:26
It's just stereotyping. There are good and bad drivers in every car. Because Creta are popular, you see more bad Creta drivers. I’ve also seen plenty of courteous Creta owners.
