The market should offer a range of options for Indian buyers. As a matter of fact, in India, there are only six electric or hybrid car variants in the four wheeler segment. This includes the Mahindra e20, Mahindra e-Verito, Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry, BMW i8 and Mahindra Scorpio Micro-Hybrid. [31][32]. Out of these only three cars are from the mid size range and the rest fall the under the premium segment. Similarly there are a handfull of options in electric scooters and three wheelers. But these numbers are far too less when compared to the range of options an American buyer or a British car buyer has. This shows the need for automakers to introduce latest technologies in mid range cars of India in order to fascilitate the future growth of autonomous vehicles.

It is also important for car manufacturers in India to collaborate with leading companies who offer Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) to develop futuristic vehicle navigation system which will assist in making robotic cars. This is achievable in India, since it has an extensive infrastructure for software development. India has recently launched NAVIC which is the operational name for IRNSS
(Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System) [30]. This is said to be the toughest counterpart of America’s GPS satellites. Thus, the current state is extremely conducive for Indian car manufacturers to use satellites for vehicle navigation system, and NAVIC can help makes this technology affordable.

Creation of suitable infrastructure is of vital importance to adopt any new technology. This statement holds true even in the case of making autonomous vehicles a reality in India. But the primary step is to optimise the existing infrastructure, which can fascilitate creation of new ones.
