Govt to soon introduce rule requiring silent EVs to have vehicle alerting system
New Delhi: In a move to alert pedestrians about approaching electric two and three wheelers, and e-rickshaws, which hardly emit any noise, govt will soon introduce a new regulation requiring manufacturers to have an electronic system that automatically creates sound when these vehicles are moving at speeds of up to 20 kmph. The transport ministry has published a draft automobile industry standard (AIS) for Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV) requiring fitment of Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS). This safety feature primarily is designed for electric and hybrid vehicles emitting artificial sounds to alert pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users about the presence of the vehicle, especially at low speeds where these vehicles are very quiet. When EVs run at higher speed, their tyres generate noise. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Sources said the need for such an alert was felt soon after the introduction of EVs in the country, especially after reports of road accidents involving these vehicles as pedestrians could not spot them early. The AVAS is mandated in electric and hybrid vehicles across several countries, including the European Union, United States, and Japan. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the US has made this system mandatory for all new EVs sold since September 2020, Europe implemented this regulation in July 2019. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?

The matter has been discussed at meetings of the CMVR-TSC, country's apex automotive standard making entity," said a senior official. As per the draft AIS, there may be a mechanism to enable the driver to halt the operation of the AVAS in case of a need. Sources said the standard will be notified soon after completing the consultation process. They added that since this is linked to safety of other road users, govt would have to make this mandatory. "We are carrying out a study on the need of AVAS in electric two-wheelers," said Anoop Chawla, professor of mechanical engineering department at IIT-Delhi. Apex automobile industry body, SIAM had approached IIT-Delhi for the study.

'Not real doctors'? Chess Grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi fires back in viral Doctor's Day spat
Image credits: X/@TheKhelIndia Indian Chess Grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi has recently been making headlines for his viral spat with a doctor on X. The 30-year-old chess player recently took to X to wish his family a happy National Doctor's Day on July 1st. A social media user with the handle 'TheLiverDoc' commented on Gujrathi's post that none of his family members were "really doctors." Ever since, the two have been engaged in an online verbal war that seems to have no end. On July 1st, Gujrathi posted a photo of his family on X writing, "Happy Doctor's Day to my entire family." When asked about the medical specialities of his family members by a person in the comments, he revealed that his father is an Ayurvedic migraine specialist, his wife is an MD Homoeopathy, his mom practices cosmetology and his sister is a physiotherapist. Sometime later, 'TheLiverDoc' reposted Gujrathi's post writing, "I am sorry but none of them are really doctors." Gujrathi responded strongly to the comment writing, Your entire brand and personality is built on insulting others. While you chase retweets by tearing people down, my family quietly heals lives without needing a spotlight. They've helped more people than your ego can count. Stay in your lane. And for a change, try being useful." 'TheLiverDoc' who claimed to be a certified internist with a doctorate in hepatology and liver transplant medicine then took to the social media platform to pen a detailed response clarifying that he meant no offence to the chess player's family and was making a point from a professional standpoint. He explained how Doctor's Day is celebrated as the birth and death anniversary of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy, one of India's most revered physicians and how the practitioners of Ayurveda , Homeopathy, Cosmetology and Physiotherapy are not "clinical physicians" and the practices themselves are not "realistic clinical medicine." He added how Gujrathi's ignorance of science and health affects the public perception of realistic healthcare and pseudoscientific practices, adding that the medicines he mentioned were "alternate medicine" that is not proven to work. The man clarified his credentials adding that he has 260 peer-reviewed scientific publications, 4400 citations, and an h-index of 30. "Calling out medical misinformation is what I do apart from being a full-time doctor. I suggest you stay in your lane and discuss more on chess. Sorry for the checkmate. And for a change, talk about chess and try being useful. All the best for your future matches," ended the man. Social media reactions Image credits: X/@theliverdr People on X have been commenting under TheLiverDoc's post condemning his comments on Gujrathi's family and on Ayurveda not being a medicinal practice. "Original healing science of India since ancient times is Ayurveda. Homoeopathy is modern day Ayurveda. Allopathy is a fraud science of which you are a practitioner," wrote a man to TheLiverDoc. "Which "medicines" existed before "science" came to play?" probed another. "Someone celebrates their birthday on X. They: 'Woohoo! Goodbye 30, hello 31!' 🎉 TL Doctor: I am sorry, but you are nearing death. There is nothing scientific about it - just Earth doing another lap around the sun." quipped another X user.
