He, in detail, discussed how advancements of underlying technologies such as 5G & Edge computing, V2X, IOT, Public Clouds, Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Digitalization, Connected Car Platforms, Analytics Platforms, Cyber Security and so on are transforming product quality and services in the present day. As a result, this transformation has made automotives not just a means of taking us from point A to point B but also our third home after our home and office. However, a silver lining to the scenario was that India would be different from the rest of the world.
