The online meeting discusses the NIMP Mission 1.2.2, focusing on integrating the value chain with proposing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in vehicles, particularly within the Electrical and Electronics (E&E) industry. The discussion strategically addressed pain points within the current ecosystem and identified areas for enhancement locally. A key emphasis was placed on leveraging local expertise and capabilities to produce both software and hardware components capable of handling embedded software compatible with the sophisticated requirements of ADAS systems. Discussion continued with identifying collaboration between various stakeholders, including automotive manufacturers, technology companies, and government agencies, to develop a robust local ecosystem for ADAS technology. By nurturing partnerships with local companies, the aim is to build the necessary infrastructure and expertise to support the production of ADAS components domestically, thereby reducing dependency on imports and promoting economic growth in the E&E sector. Moving forward, further discussions and action plans will be formulated to drive the implementation of the proposed strategies, ensuring alignment with the objectives outlined in the National Automotive Policy and New Industrial Master Plan. #DrivingProductivityoftheNation #MPC
