The Indian government is working on improving the safety of cars in India, even more so with the recent cases of accidents. Taking cognizance of the situation, OEMs are also working towards making vehicles safer. Moving in the same direction, now multiple mass-production cars in India are expected to be launched with Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). This safety feature is expected to make roads safer for the occupants as well as others. It is to be noted that this safety feature was earlier limited to only high-end cars. However, the situation is to change with the launch of these upcoming SUVs with ADAS technology.
