Carmakers are urging India to set aside bandwidth for short-range automotive radar used in such safety features as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning systems, The Economic Times reports.
The newspaper says India's auto industry wants the country to align its spectrum allocations with global practice. For now, executives say, the lack of such standards has forced Mercedes-Benz and others to remove radar-based features from the vehicles they sell in India.
The industry warns that a failure to open up certain frequency ranges for exclusive automotive use will delay the introduction of safety features, connectivity services and self-driving systems in India.
