he government should ensure that footpaths are created based on the guidelines for pedestrian fascilities released by Indian Road Congress (1988) [35] and supervise the standards of the same. Some cities in India have developed the concepts
such as dedicated bus bays and lane for the cyclists.

The NMT (Non Motorised Transport) Infrastructure along the Delhi BMT corridor [35], Punes’s NMT corridor along BRTS [35], Model roads of Ahmedabad [35] stand as some of the shining stars and stand as models where road space is optimised. These steps are essential for introduction of autonomous vehicle, as this can homogenise the system and can streamline the overall traffic flow. It will be great, if other Indian cities too can follow such systems and take some measures which can change the landscape of Indian roads. The Figure 11 shows a bus bay in Ahmedabad [36].

The civic bodies should create many more multi-level parking infrastructures. Delhi introduced India’s first multi level parking , with a capacity to hold 824 vehicles [37]. The dream of autonomous cars demands many more such infrastructure developments .

E. Stringent Laws and their enforcement

Lack of stringent laws and ineffective enforcement of existing ones need to be eliminated to make self driving cars popular in India. The Broken Window theory, introduced in a 1982 article by social scientists James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling, states that, monitoring and preventing small crimes will create orderliness in urban areas, and thereby bigger crimes can be prevented. Many offences such as parking violations and lane jumping are not penalised with any severity in India, and this is a situation where the aforesaid theory has to be implemented. Such minor offences should be severely penalised, and thereby create an orderliness on the Indian roads, which will be a great step towards welcoming self driven cars.

The Indian lawmakers should follow the models of American an
