Union minister Nitin Gadkari said driver less cars will not be allowed in India as it will lead to unemployment.
“We will not allow driverless cars in India. India suffers a huge shortage of 22 lakh drivers…Cab aggregators take advantage of these. We are not going to promote any technology or policy that will render people jobless,” Gadkari said.
He said the government is planning to introduce a cab aggregator platform where commuters could choose any mode of transportation like electric four-wheeler taxis or two- wheeler.
Also, he said that the government will promote electric vehicles but would not allow its imports and rather would urge all major automobile companies to manufacture this as per ‘Make in India” drive.
The BJP government is also planning to introduce and make GPS and satellite tracking mandatory in all public and private vehicles.
