L2+ ADAS Outpaces L3 in Europe, US$4B by 2042

The global passenger car market is witnessing a pivotal shift in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), with Level 2+ (L2+) technologies rapidly outpacing Level 3 (L3) deployments. IDTechEx forecasts significant growth, with L2+/L3 revenues in Europe projected to exceed US$4 billion by 2042.

Radar-Enhanced Safety for Advancing Autonomy

Front and side radars serve distinct yet complementary roles in ADAS, making them essential for autonomous vehicles. IDTechEx explores the latest radar developments and explores autonomy leveling up, with Level 2+ asserting itself within the US and Europe's autonomous vehicle markets.

The Evolution of the EV Battery Cover Towards Composites

IDTechEx discusses the pros and cons of composite EV battery covers, as well as innovations, current market adoption and an outlook for future adoption.

Electric Light Commercial Vehicles: Emission-Free Zones Transportation

By 2035, the EU plans to impose a ban on all cars and vans that produce emissions, with the UK potentially bringing this date forward to 2030. There are nearly 30 low or emission-free zones across 18 European countries, meaning there is lots of incentive for electrification. In some cities, such as London, there is a charge for driving through emission-free zones, meaning eLCVs may become increasingly necessary.

Autonomous Cars are Levelling Up - IDTechEx Explores Vehicle Autonomy

When the Society of Automotive Engineers released their definitions of varying levels of automation from level 0 to level 5, it became easier to define and distinguish between the many capabilities and advancements of autonomous vehicles. Supervision and functionality remain in the balance as values to prioritize for OEMs choosing to employ higher levels of automation.
