Outlines:
- Multiple sensing technologies will ensure many market opportunities for tier 1 players, tier 2 players and newcomers alike.
- By 2030, sensors for autonomous cars could be worth US$ 36 billion.
- The key sensor technologies are mature, but bottlenecks exist elsewhere.
- Autonomous trends are radically changing the landscape, but knock-on effects will not be visible for a few years.
Autonomous driving is arguably the most exciting development in the industry today. Indeed, according to the latest analysis from Yole Développement (Yole), entitled Sensors and Data Management for Autonomous Vehicles report 2015 (October 2015 edition), the automotive market segment is the next target of the consumer electronic players. Currently the most advanced commercial car with autonomous features embeds about 17 sensors with two main solutions: ultrasonic sensors and cameras for surround. And by 2030, Yole anticipates more than 29 sensors...
A majority of automotive industry players are currently developing sensor based solutions to increase vehicle safety in high and low speed zones. These systems, called ADAS use a combination of advanced sensors mixed with actuators, control units and integrating software. These systems enable the driver and his car to monitor and respond to their surroundings. Some ADAS are already available. It includes: lane-keeping and warning systems, adaptive cruise control, back-up alerts and parking assistance. And many others are still under development. Under this context, Yole’s analysts propose a comprehensive technology & market survey dedicated to the technologies for autonomous driving. According to Yole’s experts, autonomous driving has a long way to go.
“Sensors for ADAS are now rather mature, except LIDAR and dead reckoning, however, some of the technical blocks needed to achieve self-driving like ECU, software, data management are not mature enough to enter the current market”, comments Dr Guillaume Girardin, Technology & Market Analyst at Yole. And he adds: “The technology will quickly evolve and serve the autonomous vehicle trend”.
