India can get self-driving cars--despite its drivers, jaywalkers and cows

As global giants like Tesla, Uber, and Google take self-driving cars to the streets, Indian companies are still at the experimental stage. Earlier this year, local carmaker Tata Motors sought permission to test its driverless vehicle on Bengaluru's roads. Software behemoth Infosys is training its engineers in self-driving technology. A number of Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) are also working on such automobiles tailor-made for the country. However, there's been one major hurdle to self-driving technology in India: a legion of lawbreakers, from rash drivers and jaywalkers to cattle. But University of Michigan dean of engineering Alec Gallimore believes this isn't an insurmountable problem.
