As Silicon Valley tech firms and Detroit automakers push forward with autonomous driving, India has taken a completely different stance: driverless cars are strictly prohibited. Let’s explore this topic with our car electronics editor.
According to the Hindustan Times, India’s Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, stated clearly: “We will not allow driverless cars in India. I am very clear about this. We will not permit any technology that takes away jobs. In a country with high unemployment, we can’t have a technology that steals people’s livelihoods.â€
India is a massive market, and its lawmakers’ opposition to autonomous vehicles has raised concerns among many tech companies. Like China, India's large population makes it one of the most important markets for major players in e-commerce, ride-sharing, and consumer electronics.
Currently, leading companies are at the forefront of autonomous driving development. For instance, Apple was reported to have leased a small number of cars from Hertz Global Holdings Inc. to test its self-driving technology.
Waymo, Google’s self-driving division, has partnered with Avis to provide maintenance and support services for its autonomous fleet. Meanwhile, Lyft recently opened an office in Palo Alto, California, to build an internal team focused on developing its own autopilot technology.
Previously, Lyft relied on partnerships with companies like Waymo, nuTonomy, and General Motors to advance its autonomous driving efforts. However, the company now aims to take a more active role by building its own capabilities.
Raj Kapoor, Lyft’s Chief Strategy Officer, said: “We want to be a key player in shaping a more open environment for the industry. To do that, we need to deepen our expertise in these technologies.â€

With the maturity of TFT technology in the early 1990s, color LCD flat-panel displays developed rapidly. In less than 10 years, TFT-LCD has rapidly grown into a mainstream display, which is inseparable from its advantages. The main features are:
(1) Good use characteristics: low-voltage applications, low driving voltage, and improved safety and reliability of solid use; flat panel, light and thin, saving a lot of raw materials and use space; low power consumption, its power consumption is about CRT display One-tenth of that, reflective TFT-LCD is even only about one-hundredth of CRT, saving a lot of energy; TFT-LCD products also have specifications, models, and sizes in series, with various varieties, convenient and flexible use, maintenance, and update , Easy to upgrade, long service life and many other features. The display range covers the application range of all displays from 1 inch to 40 inches and large projection planes. It is a full-size display terminal; the display quality ranges from the simplest monochrome character graphics to high resolution and high color fidelity. Various specifications and models of video displays with high brightness, high contrast and high response speed; display methods include direct view, projection, see-through, and reflective.
(2) Good environmental protection characteristics: no radiation, no flicker, no harm to the user's health. In particular, the emergence of TFT-LCD e-books will bring mankind into the era of paperless office and paperless printing, triggering a revolution in human learning, dissemination, and recording of civilization.
(3) The application range is wide, and it can be used normally in the temperature range from -20°C to +50°C. The low temperature working temperature of the TFT-LCD after temperature reinforcement can reach minus 80°C. It can be used as a mobile terminal display, a desktop terminal display, and a large-screen projection TV. It is a full-size video display terminal with excellent performance.
(4) The degree of automation of manufacturing technology is high, and the characteristics of large-scale industrial production are good. The TFT-LCD industry technology is mature, and the mass production yield rate has reached more than 90%.
(5) TFT-LCD is easy to integrate and upgrade. It is a perfect combination of large-scale semiconductor integrated circuit technology and light source technology, and has great potential for continued development. At present, there are amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon TFT-LCDs. In the future, there will be TFTs of other materials, including glass substrates and plastic substrates.
