Tata Motors is all set to launch its new electric car in Norway next year. It shall launch the electric version of its most popular model, Indica, in Norway as manufacturing electric cars in India is not feasible and requires a lot of infrastructure. Norway is making suitable arrangements for making electric cars in the country which would help the company to produce electric car efficiently.
The electric version of Tata Indica shall travel 175 - 200 km on a fully charged battery, said company official. The battery will take eight hours to charge fully. The vehicle shall run on Lithium batteries that were developed by Norwegian alternative fuel company and Tata Motor's Research facility in the UK. The price of the new electric version of Indica has not yet been disclosed. The car may come to India in two years of time.

Tata Indica is in news again, this time for a different reason. You will be amazed to know that this
car has been running without a driver on Delhi roads. The so-called astonishing act was caught on camera by one of the call center employees.
Actually, the
car was being driven, but the driver was not to be seen as he was sitting in the next seat. He was apparently reading a news paper. People have their own ideas and the logic about it. Some attribute the phenomenon to a weird technology, while other to a kind of mysticism. Many went to the extreme of claiming to have seen it on other
Indian cities also. But the person performing the act denies having any technology adaptation. He says that he has been doing the same for some time. It is only his acquired expertise that makes a possible driving a car from a nearby seat.
Do you think it is possible to drive a car from other seat? If not? Then what? Is it expertise? Or something else? You never know an automotive technology comes up and obviates the need for a driver. What will be the use of steering wheel? Will it be replaced by some other equipment? The technology has a lot in store to startle you. It is capable changing the way you live. You will be surprised to know that it is a possibility in USA to drive a
car without even touching the steering wheel. There exist some regions in the city where a computerized system takes care of the car, and parks it in the right place. You don’t have to do anything, except sitting and reading a newspaper.
