3 Crucial Things so that Only EVs Sold after 2030.

3 Crucial Things so that Only EVs Sold after 2030.

by Anuj Guglani, CEO World Auto Forum

 

 The entire world going Ga-Ga over EVs. But we need these 3 crucial things in place before 100% EV, else we shall be creating a Bigger Monster!

2 Years back at the SIAM annual convention, our Honble Transport Minister had shaken the entire Industry by giving the target of 100% EV Post 2030. It sent most auto makers to their war rooms. A few weeks thereafter, the govt went soft on the deadline, for an industry already overburdened with BS6, New Safety Rules, CCI Norms, Dealer Inventories, NBFC Meltdown, GST, Phew!

What if 1 Lakh Connected Vehicles get hacked in a city simultaneously? We don’t even have a law on it as yet!

By Anuj Guglani CEO , World Auto Forum

 

Yes! this can be a sad reality, if we don’t know do something about it Now!

 
World Auto Forum getting all the Stakeholders viz Govts, Industry Chambers & Associations, IT Cos, Auto Cos, Telcos Together to Act on it
 

The Time to “Act” is “Now”!

20 Years back, one would read the news of just computers getting hacked. If back in 1990 someone had said, your car, or your fridge can be hacked. People would have laughed their guts out!  Well now computers run everything! And they are connected, so in short, anything can get hacked!

Whether its Power Grids, Transportation, Buildings, Public Infrastructures…list goes on..

IOT – Internet of Things or IOE – Internet of Everything are Great concepts. They are getting Big Push from the Govts, Enthusiastic IT Cos & Telcos! Well, all this is Nice!

Most Car Service Aggregators offering an Uber, Customers need an Oyo!

by Anuj Guglani, CEO World Auto Forum 

Whats’s with Uber that works fab while hailing a Cab but goes miserably wrong when applied to a Car Service Centre. Well here it is..

Its been ages I went to a workshop to get my car serviced. Its always been picked and dropped. So instead of me visiting the Workshop, the latter would visit me each time!

I have taken my car mostly to the Authorised OEM Workshop. Now that the car got a bit old and thus out of warranty, I thought of experimenting these new age Car Service App based Aggregators.

So more for the Experience, I reached out to one of the app Co’s.

What follow s is nothing against the company or the workshop. On the contrary the app and their staff put in great effort in ensuring a good experience. But the entire model seems to be designed to create confusion and trauma. Here’s why ..

Key Difference between Uber and Car Service Aggregators
