This year, the global automotive industry is expected to demonstrate significant progress in the areas of driverless technology, with an emphasis on improved sensor solutions, L2+ deployment, and tele-operations, according to Frost & Sullivan news.
Since autonomous vehicles (L4 and L5) will take time to develop and deploy, the market research company expects automakers and certain suppliers to push L2+ features forward. L1-5 refers to the levels of autonomous driving, with L2 considered partial automation.
“Sensor fusion will be a major aspect of autonomous vehicle development” said Ayan Biswas, Mobility Senior Research Analyst, Frost & Sullivan. “Meanwhile, the introduction of L2+ and L3 features will create opportunities for the integration of multicore advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) domain controller.”
Biswas said the introduction of these features will help decrease the amount of wiring and it will enable high-speed communication and data transmission in the vehicle. By 2030, the company foresees one in four cars sold (18 million) globally featuring L3 and above automation, with L4 (high but not full automation) at the forefront of the growth.
“AD (autonomous driving) will not only focus on ways to generate revenues through new downstream services, it will also affect traditional business models with the adoption of mobility platforms,” said Biswas. “The industry is expected to shift from ownership to usership, as it progresses toward L5 autonomy.”
