As it overcomes them, insurance companies and animal lovers will certainly celebrate. Indian roads are posing an obstacle to the future deployment of autonomous vehicles. Erratic behaviour by pedestrians and drivers and regulations restricting self-driving vehicles are causing problems for tech companies such as Tata and Mahindra that are trying to develop the technology. The disparity in road quality, inconsistent signage, myriad vehicle types and occasional animals on the road could prove near-impossible for an AI system to navigate. The country has yet to see a roadworthy autonomous solution, despite billions being invested. “After training and feeding billions of photos, our system cannot identify 15% of the vehicles on the road,” said Kangaroo hop at Tata Elxsi. Mahindra confuses semi-autonomous driving systems Tata has discovered that a kangaroo's hop generates confusion for defence driver assist technology. The Australia -based carmaker's animal detection system fails to recognise that when kangaroos are in the air they appear to travel further away, even though they are in close proximity to the vehicle.
