Siddharth Vinayak Patankar,acclaimed senior auto journalist, Editor in Chief, car and bike and Executive Director of World CAR Awards shared interesting perspectives on Connected Cars and Telematics at an E – Talk by Mind Matters held at Extentia Information Technology in Pune recently. He is also Chief Editor – Auto Head of Automobile Programming NDTV.
“As connected cars and telematics become mainstream in the future, issues related to safety and ethics will need to be addressed” said Siddharth, “For example in the event of an imminent collision between an autonomous car and one of the 2 pedestrians where one is a small child and the other is an octogenarian parent of the car owner, who would the car choose?
Technology without a doubt contributes to driver convenience and passenger safety but a line will need to be drawn in the future.”
Siddharth shared these and many other interesting perspectives on the subject during his well-attended and highly interactive E-Talk. Connectivity, information sharing, car to car communication, traffic management data, ride-sharing and related legal aspects and perspectives kept the audience engaged in his 60-minute talk.
