Is MG Motor India Really Adding Pothole Detection to Its Cars? Or Just an April Fools’ Gimmick?

MG Teases Pothole Detection System – A Game-Changer or Just a Prank?

MG Motor India has stirred up excitement (and some skepticism) with its latest teaser, hinting at an all-new pothole detection system for its cars. While this feature could be a groundbreaking addition for Indian roads, the timing of the teaser—just a day before April Fools’ Day—raises eyebrows. Is MG serious about revolutionizing driving safety, or is this just a well-crafted joke?

What We Know So Far

According to the teaser, MG’s pothole detection system will use cameras and sensors to identify potholes and help drivers avoid them—even at higher speeds. The company also mentioned that the feature could be enabled through an ADAS update and might be available via OTA (over-the-air) software updates.

Which MG Cars Might Get This Feature?

While MG hasn’t revealed which models will be the first to get this update, speculation suggests that its premium lineup—like the upcoming MG Cyberster, M9 MPV, and possibly the ZS EV, Hector, and Gloster—could benefit from this tech.

How Does It Compare to Tesla’s System?

Tesla introduced a similar feature in 2022, where the Model S and Model X used an air suspension system and real-time road data to adjust ride height when detecting potholes. MG’s approach, however, might be different, relying more on real-time alerts rather than active suspension adjustments.

Imagine cruising down the road, and potholes simply… disappear. Sounds unreal, right?

Well, MG is about to change the game with a revolutionary new feature in ADAS. Think you’re ready for the future of driving?

April Fools’ Prank or Genuine Innovation?

Given the teaser’s timing, there’s a strong possibility that MG might just be playing along with April 1st traditions. However, if the feature turns out to be real, it could be a major upgrade for Indian roads, where potholes are a daily challenge for drivers.

Final Thoughts

If MG truly rolls out this technology, it would set a new benchmark for smart car features in India. But until there’s an official confirmation, we’ll have to wait and see whether this is a groundbreaking innovation or just a clever marketing stunt.
