October 2030 is the proposed deadline for making Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) mandatory in new car models in India. The proposal is being considered by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways as part of a broader initiative to improve road safety. AEBS uses cameras, radar or other sensors to detect potential collisions and automatically apply the brakes when the driver does not respond adequately. Existing car models would reportedly have until October 2032 to comply. However, these deadlines remain proposals and are subject to official government notification. The system is intended to reduce accidents and minimise the severity of collisions.
