Microdots technology to make car almost theft proof

To counter car thefts, Indian govt has decided to adopt microdots technology which is widely used in several counties including South Africa and the US. The vehicles stolen go untraced since auto-lifters take out the engines & other valuable parts before destroying the vehicles. Microdots is a technology in which thousands of micro dots are sprayed over the body of vehicle. These small laser-etched dots contain nano-size (0.5 mm) particles that carry information like unique number and vehicle identification number. These dots can be seen by using UV light and since the dots are sprayed throughout the vehicle body, it becomes easy to trace the vehicle as even a small part of the dismantled car can be used to trace the stolen vehicle. The government plans to roll out the technology as an optional system initially and the price of this feature is likely to be around Rs 1,000. The car, truck or bus would require at least 10,000 microdots, while at least 5,000 such dots would be needed for 2-wheeler. The manufacturers would have to ensure that the dots remain readable for at least 15 years after fitment.

Tesla plans to enter India this year or next

Tesla have chief  officer tweeted that he would love to be in India this year or max by next year. Same Musk 10 months back had blamed restrictive policy of India for delaying carmaker’s entry into world’s 4th largest automobile market. The Narendra Modi-led government has been wooing Tesla to set up a factory but Musk has held back citing challenging government regulations as hurdles and in the past had sought temporary waiver on import penalties and other restrictions until a local facility is built. After 4 years planning Tesla started its first car manufacturing unit outside US in China at a cost of $5 billion. India has a paltry 6,000 passenger EV on its roads, compared with China’s 1.35 million. Though India is a promising market for EV maker but it lags behind China and is plagued by minimal government support for cleaner technology and paucity of charging stations.
