The automotive industry is undergoing a transformative revolution, driven by the convergence of cutting-edge technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication. These technological advancements are fundamentally reshaping the vehicle development and manufacturing landscape, enabling the creation of safer, more intelligent, and environmentally sustainable transportation solutions. In response to this technological evolution, ARAI is establishing a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Intelligent Vehicle Technology (IVT), specifically designed to address India's unique mobility challenges. The CoE will focus on several strategic domains: • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) optimized for Indian driving conditions • Intelligent Transport Systems tailored to local infrastructure • Autonomous Vehicle technologies adapted for Indian scenarios • Connected Mobility solutions aligned with regional requirements • Shared Mobility platforms designed for Indian market needs This initiative represents a significant step forward in India's automotive technology journey, combining global technological expertise with local market understanding to create innovative, practical solutions that address the country's specific transportation challenges while contributing to sustainable mobility goals.
