The understanding of ADAS in India is significantly lower than in European countries. A survey taken by McKinsey suggests 4500 buyers had a lack of awareness about ADAS technologies in late 2020 and its impact on road safety and preventing road collisions.

Covid-19 may have put the world to a stop for some time now, but it is great to see events within the industry starting up again.
