ETECHSTARS: The Company That Is Using Technology To Make Indian Roads Safer For Everyone

When Harsh Singh founded the ETECHSTARS group, he had a clear vision in mind. He wanted to build an organization that would bring in cutting-edge and technology in autonomous mobility and transportation. ETECHSTARS group is an amalgamation of two companies, ETECHSTARS Private Limited in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh and Bengaluru, Karnataka and ETECHSTARS Inc. in Michigan. In a very short span of time, Harsh and his dynamic team have come up with several unique solutions to enhance mobility and transportation in India and worldwide.

Elaborating on the vision behind launching ETECHSTARS, Harsh says, “I have always believed technology, if used and implemented correctly, can bring a very positive change in any sector. In India, people have complained about road safety issues, commuting problems and lack of proper infrastructure for years. While many efforts were carried out to resolve these issues, the absence of high-end, modern technology acted as a hindrance in things moving faster. This is the gap, we at   ETECHSTARS, have strived to fill up.”

In the last few years, ETECHSTARS has brought many automation and transportation innovations to the fore. It has worked extensively on developing and implementing ADAS o in the most efficient and effective manner. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) refer to a set of technologies and features designed to enhance vehicle safety by providing drivers with real-time assistance and warnings about potential hazards.

“Our team has worked very hard towards understanding the technologies involved in ADAS, developing them further and implementing them in the most correct manner. Apart from pedestrian detection, some of the other elements involved in ADAS are traffic sign recognition, blind spot detection, automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition and lane departure warning. We have developed technologies and tools that make ADAS much more effective and implementing much easier”, states Harsh.

As an organization, ETECHSTARS has been credited with building different types of intelligent transportation systems or ITS and collaborating with government and private agencies to implement them in different parts of the country. Through its dedicated efforts and forward-thinking approach, ETECHSTARS has played a crucial role in making Indian roads safer for everyone to use and commute.

ADAS Emergency Braking Test Reveals Honda City Beats Much More Expensive Cars

ADAS Emergency Braking Test Reveals Honda City Beats Much More Expensive Cars
  • The Honda City, followed by the Hyundai Ioniq 5, returned consistent results in the AEB test.
  • Mahindra’s XUV700 was the least predictable car in the AEB test.
  • The Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 stopped in the shortest distance.

New Delhi: ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are the latest leap in automotive technology, and carmakers are now integrating it into their cars across segments. To find out which manufacturer had the best system, autoX did a test comparing the Honda City, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Mahindra XUV700 and the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53. It was the Honda City, the least expensive car among the four, which came out on top in the AEB or Auto Emergency Braking Test.

AEB is the most crucial feature of ADAS as it automatically applies the brakes when it detects that a crash is imminent. All the cars in our test managed to come to a stop on their own, but it was the Honda City that came to a stop the farthest from the obstacle in place. While the Mahindra system has been around for some time now compared to the others and is thus not as updated as the others, it was surprising that the Honda City managed to comprehensively beat the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53.

The Honda City just didn’t stop the farthest from the human obstacle, but it was also the most composed of all the cars in the test. It detected the obstacle early and applied the brakes in the most progressive fashion out of all the others. The Ioniq 5 came in second in this regard, and the XUV700 and EQS 53 braked at the last second. However, while the XUV700 was inconsistent in its returns, the EQS 53 braked at the same marker each time, but it managed to brake later because of its huge brakes.

To give you a better idea of where things stand, here’s what autoX’s Road Test Editor Shivank Bhatt wrote in his verdict, “I would like to remind you that these ADAS systems aren’t built to a cost. A case in point is the City and its Honda Sensing tech. Even though it’s the most affordable ADAS-equipped car in the country, its assistance systems aren’t there for the heck of it. They work, and they work well. So, the next time someone like me tells you that ADAS is just a gimmick, don’t believe a word of it.”
