Earlier in September, at the SIAM annual convention, Minister of Road Transport Highways & Shipping, Nitin Gadkari, had announced that the government plans to make advanced driver assistance systems mandatory in cars by 2022. Back then, we were not sure which “advanced” driver assistance systems were supposed to become mandatory. But Abhay Damle, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), has now announced at the Global NCAP World Congress in Delhi-NCR that Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) will be incorporated in new vehicles between year 2022 and 2023.
