Conclusion
Several consumers face fatality while on the road. The number of vehicles on the road is increasing every single minute. Safety of drivers should be the number one priority of these cars. Flashy features like bigger infotainment systems, dazzling light assemblies have taken marketing presence over safety features. It’s important to note that basic features like dual airbags are being made standard in a lot of entry-level cars, and that’s a very good thing!
Appreciate Those Who Lead In Safety!
But those who one-up the competition and give more safety features do not get enough appreciation. The Toyota Yaris and Mahindra XUV300 are good examples of this. The XUV300 turned a lot of heads because of its dual-zone climate control and good driving dynamics. But in the midst of all of this, the fact that it got 7-airbags got forgotten to some extent.
Although it’s a single airbag more than the competition if it saves and protects the driver from injury, it’s much more valuable than the aforementioned features. Creature safety is more important than creature comfort!
If us, consumers start appreciating more safety features and buying safer models, the market will automatically start emphasising more and more on safety. After all, the products are a mirror of the consumers’ demand. The work is already underway. All I’m saying is that it would be better if the regulations became a bit more stringent.
Safety For Cars In India
– Cars, in general, are progressing towards becoming safer
– True for cars in the Indian market, but the rate of safety adoption should increase
– Tough to implement in India due to our comparatively unorganised road conditions and scale
