Trump to push self-driving vehicles in boost to Tesla
---
Extract from the article:
President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is prioritizing a federal framework for fully-driving vehicles. This move is poised to benefit Tesla CEO Elon Musk significantly, given Tesla's heavy investments in self-driving technology.
While the Transportation Department can make regulatory adjustments, the article emphasizes that Congressional action is crucial for widespread adoption of this advanced technology.
This initiative could potentially revolutionize the automotive industry, paving the way for safer roads and innovative transportation solutions.
By exploring self-driving vehicles, the government aims to enhance efficiency, reduce accidents caused by human error, and align with the global trend towards electric and autonomous transportation systems.

My Take:
Time to Reinvent for Hindustan
"Reflecting on my past blog about the cost-effectiveness of autonomous electric vehicles, it's fascinating to see this concept taking center stage in the political realm.
The potential tenfold reduction in transportation costs by embracing self-drive electric vehicles resonates with the current push for self-driving technology in the US.
The planned electrification goals in countries like China and India align with the vision of a future dominated by autonomous and eco-friendly vehicles. This shift towards electric and autonomous transportation signifies a crucial step towards a sustainable and efficient mobility landscape."

Enable Elon to Catalyse
"In my previous blog, I highlighted the golden opportunity India has to leverage Elon Musk's expertise and resources for transformative transportation initiatives.
The recent news about Tesla seeking import relief until establishing a local manufacturing unit echoes the need to enable visionaries like Musk to drive innovation in the Indian automotive sector.
Musk's vision aligns with the government's ambitious targets for electric vehicles and sustainable energy solutions.
Embracing his ideas could catalyze the adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, and futuristic urban transport systems, reshaping India's mobility landscape significantly."
Why don’t they park in their flats ? …. 01 Sept 2017
Extract :
“ As against 22 lakh cars , we have parking space on the roads , for only 3.3 lakh cars ( approx.. for 15 % of the cars
And , each car , on an average , gets used DAILY ( being driven on the road ) for just 3 hours out of available 24 hours ( …. 12 % of the time ! )
For the balance 21 hours , it is just PARKED on the streets , causing all of our PARKING SPACE SHORTAGES
Hence , we offer you Car Owners , the following options :
· At any given time , only 3.3 lakh cars will be allowed to be parked on the roads , with the rest having to park inside their flats ( like ODD / EVEN number scheme )
· Let everyone dispose off their PERSONAL cars and use “ Ride Sharing “ arrangements . Working round the clock , these 3.3 lakh “ Ride Sharing Cars “ would suffice to take all of you to your work-place and back
PS :
Of course, in our country, any large scale deployment of self-driving cars would have the undesirable consequence of LOSS of JOBS for the drivers
But imagine a 75 % reduction in the CAR POPULATION , since self-driving cars would ply and transport people, for 24 hours as against 3 hour of privately owned cars !

Call to Action:
To President-elect Donald Trump and Congress,
I urge you to continue supporting initiatives that promote the development and adoption of self-driving technology.
By fostering a conducive regulatory environment and incentivizing innovation in the automotive sector, you can accelerate the transition towards safer, greener, and more efficient transportation systems.
Let's pave the way for a future where advanced technologies like self-driving vehicles not only benefit companies like Tesla but also contribute to a sustainable and resilient transportation ecosystem.
