It would be important to mention that during the year 2016 among 1.51 lakh road accidents 74,000 people lost their life due to the accident. In the words of an officer from Ministry of Road and Transport, "The new cars will be fitted with a system that issues audio alerts when the speed crosses 80kmph. The alert will be sharper when the vehicle crosses 100kmph, and non-stop when it's over 120 kmph," 

 

According to the authentic sources the enforcement of the provisions would pave the way for quicker implementation of frontal and side crash test for vehicles.

Moving ahead the sources also said that to minimize the chances of accidents while reversing the car, the parking alert will let the driver know about the presence of any object behind the vehicle.
