India’s electric bus transition is making software security and control an increasingly important part of the mobility conversation.

In a recent interview, EKA Mobility Chairman Sudhir Mehta warned that non-local vehicle control software could pose cybersecurity and national security risks, stressing the importance of keeping control of critical EV software in India.

As electric buses become smarter and more connected, who controls the software could be as important as who builds the bus.
