Automotive Radar Future - Miniaturising Size & Maximising Performance

Radar has been one of the most significant additions to vehicles in the past two decades. It provides luxury advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features like adaptive cruise control (ACC), as well as critical safety features like automatic emergency braking and blind spot detection.

PacketLight Networks

PacketLight Networks develop optical systems for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) and optical transfer networks (OTNs). The company partner with quantum key distribution (QKD) system providers for those customers looking to integrate quantum encryption methods. Tess Skyrme, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx, interviewed VP for Business Development Michal Naor and Senior Engineer Ilya Tsuker.

Rokion

Rokion manufactures battery-electric utility vehicles for use in underground and surface mining, founded as a spinoff of Canadian manufacturer Prairie Machine.

Autonomous Vehicles Will Drive Automotive Sensor Market Growth

IDTechEx's new report "Autonomous Cars, Robotaxis and Sensors 2024-2044" shows that autonomous cars are slowly, but very surely, becoming a part of everyday life. Although they have been hyped and overpromised for a long time, in the last couple of years, the industry has accomplished some significant milestones. The US and China both now have a handful of cities allowing commercial robotaxi services from industry leaders such as Cruise, Waymo, Baidu, AutoX, and more.

Deployment of ADAS Features in the Consumer Vehicle Market

This premium article presents IDTechEx's research on the deployment of ADAS features in the car market. It shows the percentage of new vehicle sales that come with CC, ACC and AEB, as well as blind spot monitoring and lane keep assistance. This is also split by region featuring the US, China, EU + UK + EFTA and Japan, and comparing results from 2022 with those from 2020. Finally, the corresponding penetration of SAE level 1 and SAE level 2 is discussed.

AI and the Road to Full Autonomy in Autonomous Vehicles

The road to fully autonomous vehicles is, by necessity, a long and winding one; systems that implement new technologies that increase the driving level of vehicles (driving levels being discussed further below) must be rigorously tested for safety and longevity before they can make it to vehicles that are bound for public streets.

Edge AI: The Wait is (Almost) Over

Since the introduction of Artificial Intelligence to the data center, AI has been loath to leave it. With large tracts of floorspace dedicated to servers comprising leading-edge chips that can handle the computational demands for training the latest in AI models, as well as inference via end-user connections to the cloud, data centers are the ideal environment for facilitating much of what AI has to offer.

Regulating Automated Private Passenger Vehicles

This premium article discusses regulating automated private passenger vehicles. It looks at each region and assesses its attitudes and progress towards level 3 deployment. It highlights key changes to UNECE regulations and what they mean for level 3 vehicles and the next phases of their deployment.

Level 3 Vehicles Are on the Road, Here Is When It Will Be Mainstream

Now that Mercedes is rolling out driverless SAE level 3 technologies in Germany and the US, the question that everyone in the automotive market is asking is, "when and how will this trickle down to mass market?". IDTechEx's new report, "Autonomous Cars, Robotaxis and Sensors 2024-2044", provides the answer.

Why OEMs Are Moving to Tesla's Charging Standard

Consumers favour Tesla's NACS-based Supercharging network because the company has more DC fast chargers deployed, is ideally situated on popular driving routes, and the NACS plug is more straightforward for consumers to use. With five major automakers already committed to switching from CCS to NACS and SAE now working on standards, the pressure is on for other automakers to switch to Tesla's connector and network. This premium article investigates the NACS connector in detail and outlines the industry developments since NACS adoption has gone mainstream in the US - it's hard to imagine EVs with the CCS port being more than a small fraction of the US auto market in the medium term.
