Collision alerts for fewer accidents
Emergency assistance services for timely intervention in critical scenarios
Lane guidance systems to ease the way on challenging roads
Advanced driver-assistance systems for Indian road conditions.
The innovations aim to reduce accidents and deaths on Indian roads to minimal figures.
Simplifying Everyday Convenience
Beyond safety, the collaboration will focus on enhancing convenience for drivers and passengers. Key features include:
Real-time traffic updates to avoid congested routes.
Integrated payment solutions for tolls, parking, and fuel.
Voice-enabled navigation for hands-free control.
Smart parking assistance to streamline urban driving.
Supporting the ‘Make in India’ Initiative
The Qualcomm-MapmyIndia partnership is a testament to the potential of the 'Make in India' initiative. It supports the growth of domestic industries by developing cutting-edge automotive solutions locally, thereby reducing reliance on imports. This move not only boosts India's economic resilience but also positions the country as a global hub for automotive innovation.
