So is the Mahindra XEV 9e’s ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) features practical in Indian driving conditions?
The Mahindra XEV 9e is equipped with Level 2+ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that is a suite of technologies to add to safety and ease of driving. These features — adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automated emergency braking — are becoming increasingly common in vehicles in markets where cars are sold. However, their efficacy and usability under Indian roads conditions is debatable. Indian roads pose a different set of challenges – unpredictable traffic, varying road quality and frequently, unclear lane lines. The question also remains about how these systems will interact with the wide variety of vehicles on Indian roads, from two wheelers to large trucks, and how they will handle situations like animals on the road or unusual traffic rules. It also raises questions about maintenance and repair costs of such advanced tech in a domestically produced vehicle, and whether Indian drivers are ready to take to these new systems. More broadly, it discusses issues in technology adoption, infrastructure development and the evolution of driving norms in India.
ADAS in India? Good luck with that! It'll have a nervous breakdown trying to figure out our traffic.
This is a step in the right direction. Of course advanced safety tech isn’t perfect yet, but we need to start somewhere.
It might actually work well on new highways and planned cities. But in old city centers? That's another story.
If it works, it could be a game changer for road safety. Anything that helps reduce accidents is welcome.
But I worry about reliance on these systems. How come drivers forget their way to deal with tricky situations themselves?
The real question, though, is whether it can detect cows on the road. That’s the true test of ADAS in India!
It will be interesting to see how it deals with autorickshaws and bikes wiggling through the traffic. Might need an "India mode"!
It could actually teach drivers how to drive in lanes properly and also keep safe following distances. It’s like having a driving instructor with you all the time.
It could be a nightmare for maintenance. Think about your local garage trying to fix these advanced systems.
It could serve as a new benchmark for safety in Indian cars if it works well. Other manufacturers will have to up their game.
