Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday aforesaid driverless cars will not be allowed in India as it will lead to joblessness.

As per him, "instead the government will focus on training drivers as adequate driving skills can provide employment to about 50 lakh people."

"We will not allow driver-less cars in India. India suffers a huge shortage of 22 lakh drivers...Cab aggregators take advantage of these. We are not going to promote any technology or policy that will render people jobless," Gadkari said.

He said, "government is planning to introduce a cab aggregator platform where commuters could choose any mode of transportation like electric four-wheeler taxis or two- wheelers."
