- India's road transport ministry has issued a draft notification proposing that all new two-, three- and four-wheelers and goods vehicles be fitted with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems, first for vehicles equipped with them from October 2027 and mandatory for all new vehicles from October 2028.
- These systems let vehicles exchange real-time data like speed, position and braking status to warn drivers of hazards beyond their line of sight.
- The move, based on the new AIS-230 standard and 5.9 GHz spectrum already exempted from licensing, is one of the biggest technology-driven road safety interventions yet, aimed at reducing India's high road fatalities.
- The ministry has invited public comments for 30 days before issuing a final notification.
