Author’s Note
We wholeheartedly appreciate the inclusion of technology to better our lives and improve road safety. India loses lakhs of lives each year in road crashes. Most of these take place due to the carelessness of the drivers and people refusing to follow traffic regulations. The fact that an old Indian workhorse like the Mahindra Scorpio Classic has been equipped with modern technological tools represents a perfect picture of how to incorporate modern techniques in established vehicles to make human lives better.
