Will Indian owners of the BE 09 find the high tech features a boon or a burden?
The Mahindra BE 09 is loaded with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), multiple high resolution displays and an augmented reality head up display. On paper and at the showroom, these features are impressive, but for long term reliability and ease of use in India, there are doubts. For one thing, outside main cities, there are concerns about the cost and complexity of repairs. Meanwhile, not everybody believes all of those tech features are what cars truly need or whether they may become distracting to drivers. But there's also the question of how good these systems will be at Indian roads, with their peculiarities like unmarked lanes and varied traffic. But proponents say these features will make vehicles safer and put Indian cars on par with the world.
I love the tech, but I am nervous about maintenance. In a few years, all those fancy screens are going to glitch out, who's going to fix them?
India needs these features and it’s about time we get them. Of course there are bound to be a few teething problems, but we can't continue to fall behind the rest of the world in automotive tech.
I think it's overkill. Is augmented reality and multiple screens really what we need to get from point A to point B? It seems like a recipe for distracted driving to me.
ADAS features could be a game changer for safety on our crazy roads. It'll be worth every penny if it can handle Indian traffic.
But I'm skeptical about how well this tech will work in real world Indian conditions. Will it read our road signs? Can it handle unmarked lanes?
I'm all for it as a gadget lover. I worry about the older drivers learning curve on all of this tech.
It's a double-edged sword. The question is: could these features make driving safer and easier — but also increase our dependency on technology? What happens when it fails?
