MG Teases ADAS Tech in Upcoming Windsor PRO Ahead of India Launch
New Delhi — JSW MG Motor India is gearing up to launch a new variant of its popular electric vehicle, the MG Windsor. Dubbed the Windsor PRO, the upcoming model is set to offer a host of advanced features, with the company teasing Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in a newly released promotional video.
The Windsor PRO will come equipped with 12 major ADAS features, along with three types of alerts — audio, visual, and haptic — to enhance driving safety. Key technologies include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Traffic Jam Assist, among others.
Since its debut, the MG Windsor has held the title of India's best-selling electric vehicle, thanks to its unique combination of a sedan's spaciousness and an SUV's practicality.

MG unveils electric roadster with scissor doors
KOLKATA: JSW MG Motor unveiled the all-electric roadster that returns to the British motoring heritage and sporting roots through the lens of new-age luxury and high performance. Company officials said the car is a modern interpretation of traditional roadster proportions: a long, sculpted bonnet, rearward cabin, and pronounced rear haunches that suggest latent power and evoke a sense of classic rear-wheel-drive performance. The electric scissor doors accentuate the car's futuristic identity. The Cyberster's form was shaped from hand-drawn sketches to VR-based modeling and physical clay sculpting. The front fascia, with its open-lamp expression and split grille-inspired intake, connects to MG's heritage while embracing sleek aerodynamics. The low nose guides airflow smoothly, while the Kammback tail and rear light bar ensure both visual drama and aerodynamic efficiency. Inside, the triple-screen wraparound cockpit and Y-shaped sports seats create a space that's immersive, ergonomic, and emotionally resonant, a true driver-centric sanctuary. "Every design decision was intentional, culminating in a roadster that captures nostalgia, innovation, and the thrill of pure electric motoring. With its soft-top convertible roof and Kammback tail, the design pays homage to the classic MG B, while embracing a future-forward, tech-driven aesthetic tailored to the evolved customer," an official said. Performance-wise, the Cyberster's dual-motor powertrain produces 510 PS and 725 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. The car is tuned by Formula 1 engineer Marco Fainello.

OpenGMSL association formed to transform future of in-vehicle connectivity
In a landmark move for the automotive technology sector, a coalition of leading OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, semiconductor manufacturers, and ecosystem partners on Wednesday announced the formation of the OpenGMSL Association . This newly launched initiative aims to establish Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) as an open, worldwide standard for SerDes-based transmission of video and high-speed data in vehicles. The OpenGMSL Association is set to transform how automotive systems — including ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), infotainment, and autonomous driving platforms — are developed and integrated, ultimately enabling faster innovation and reducing costs across the automotive value chain. The OpenGMSL Association will operate as a non-profit entity with an independent board of directors, encouraging global participation. Products built on the standard must pass mandatory compliance testing to ensure multi-vendor interoperability and system reliability. 'We're proud of our GMSL technology and eager to collaborate with fellow association members on a standard that will strengthen the entire automotive ecosystem,' said Yasmine King, Corporate VP and Head of the Automotive Business Unit at ADI. The initiative marks a pivotal step toward standardizing data transmission architecture in the automotive industry, paving the way for safer, smarter, and more connected vehicles worldwide. Addressing the growing demands of Next-Gen vehicles With modern vehicles requiring high-speed, low-latency data links to support increasingly sophisticated features, legacy proprietary systems have created hurdles to innovation. ADAS vision systems depend on real-time, high-resolution video feeds for decision-making, while infotainment platforms require seamless data streaming for enhanced user experiences. These growing demands have increased development complexity and cost, prompting the need for a unified, open standard to simplify integration and ensure interoperability across vendors.
