While the West races ahead with autonomous vehicles, India has been cautious. But in 2025, pilot programs and test zones are slowly changing that.

Startups like Minus Zero and global giants like Tesla are exploring AI-driven mobility in Indian conditions. The challenges are real—chaotic traffic, inconsistent road signs, and unpredictable human behavior.

Yet, Level 2 and 3 autonomous features—like lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and self-parking—are already found in models from MG, Hyundai, and Volvo. Delhi NCR has even greenlit small test areas for fully autonomous trials.

Legal frameworks are being discussed, and insurance companies are developing policies for AV incidents.

Conclusion
Fully autonomous cars in India might still be a decade away, but assisted driving is very much here. The next five years will be crucial in shaping India’s road to autonomy.
