Uno Minda launches Car DVR 2.0 with L2 ADAS

Press Release, 12 November 2024

Road safety in India remains a significant concern due to the country’s high rates of traffic accidents. With millions of vehicles on the road, factors like reckless driving and a lack of awareness about traffic regulations contribute to the problem. In response, the Indian government has launched various initiatives, including the integration of technology such as AI-powered cameras to monitor violations like unsafe lane changes and distracted driving. As the demand for safety technology is projected to exceed USD 200 billion by 2033, ADAS-equipped DVRs are becoming vital for accident prevention and enhancing road safety. These devices offer real-time alerts to drivers about potential hazards, including lane drifting, proximity to other vehicles, and speeding.

In response to the growing demand, Uno Minda, a leading Tier 1 supplier of Proprietary Automotive Solutions to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), has announced the launch of a new Car DVR 2.0 with Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) in the Indian aftermarket with 1080p resolution.
