What are the different categories of ADAS relevant to India, and why has its adoption been challenging compared to other countries?
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) vary in complexity from level 0 to level 5 autonomy. Level 0 (L0) represents standard vehicles where the driver controls all functions. Level 1 (L1) includes basic warning features, such as lane departure alerts. Level 2 (L2) introduces automation, including lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, using systems like Mobileye, now prevalent in vehicles from brands such as Mahindra.
The challenge of adopting ADAS in India, compared to other countries, arises from the country’s unique road conditions. Inconsistent or absent lane markings, diverse vehicle types, and unpredictable road scenarios hinder the effectiveness of ADAS technologies, which rely on consistently detecting markers and obstacles. Moreover, substantial global investments in ADAS research and development (R&D) have not yet translated effectively to Indian roads, where the variability and complexity far exceed typical test environments. This situation has posed significant challenges in creating reliable systems that can adapt to India’s diverse traffic conditions, like the leap from basic chatbots to more advanced AI models like ChatGPT and large language models (LLMs).
Can you describe your journey in identifying and addressing the challenges with ADAS, especially in environments without clear infrastructure, such as missing lane markings in India?
