Google's announcement states that partnering with Genesys and Tech Mahindra is the way it does things in India and has been for 15 years.
The company's previous problems with Street View suggest that's not always been the case, although thecreated with local carrier Jio shows how far Google will sometimes go to do business on the sub-continent. Google has also tweaked Google Maps for Indian users, adding info like speed limits and air quality information to the service. The latter data is useful as in recent years Delhi's air has become so polluted that authorities have recommended remaining indoors.
In India's de facto tech capital, Bengaluru, Google thinks it might have found a way to address such incidents by working with local police to gather traffic data and then tweak traffic light timings after AI analysis. "The pilot resulted in almost a 20 percent reduction in congestion across all the intersections. We will be scaling this to all of Bengaluru, and extending this pilot to Kolkata and Hyderabad as well in the coming months," Google declared. ®
