Sensitive subjects
You've got regulations, cost and personal
preferences all getting in the way
of the next generation of automated
vehicles. Oh, and those pesky legal issues
about who's at fault should something
happen. Under all these big issues
lie the many small sensors that today's
AVs and ADAS packages require. This
big/small world is one topic we're investigating
in this issue.
I won't pretend I know exactly which
combination of cameras and radar and
lidar sensors works best for a given AV,
or whether thermal cameras and new
point cloud technologies should be part
of the mix. But the world is clearly
ready to spend a lot of money figuring
these problems out.
For example, the overall

As fascinating as future sensors are,
some of the sensors installed in today's
vehicles are already hard at work making
tomorrow's AVs better. I listened to
a presentation by Mobileye's senior director
of ADAS business development,
Yoni Epstein, at AutoSens in Detroit this
spring, and he pointed to his company's
use of crowdsourcing to improve its
Road Experience Management maps.
Mobileye's idea here is to let cars on the
road send continuously updated information
to Mobileye in order to create
maps that other AVs can use.
" By the end of last year [2023], we
automotive lidar market will
grow to $9.5 billion by
2034, with the market focusing
on " beam steering
technologies, performance
improvement, and cost reduction
in lidar transceiver
components, " according to
IDTechEx. Similarly, Allied
Market Research predicts
that by 2032, the automotive
smart camera market will grow to
$27.2 billion, up from $3.4 billion in 2022.
The leader here will be the complementary
metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)
segment, which " contributed nearly fourfifths
of the total revenue in the global
automotive smart camera market in
2023, " and Allied expects CMOS to
" maintain its dominant position throughout
the forecast period. " The radar zone
will be busy, too, finding the patterns in
all mankind. Fortune Business Insights
predicts that the global automotive radar
market will grow from $4.74 billion in
2023 to $5.11 billion in 2024 and then to
$11.23 billion by 2032. The growth here
will be driven by stringent government
safety regulations and an increasing overall
demand for passenger vehicles, especially
in developing countries.

The lidar
market will
grow to $9.5
billion by
2034, radar to
$11.23 billion
by 2032.
collected nearly 50 billion kilometers
(31 billion miles) of road data, almost
80 million kilometers (50
million miles) being harvested
daily, " Epstein
said. " The crowdsourcing
fleet was composed of
5.5 million cars. These are
the figures from last year,
so you can assume that
these numbers are just
going to keep growing
over the coming years as
more and more OEMS
join the REM fleet. "
Mobileye has various chips installed
in over 800 models worldwide, representing
over 187 million chips. By 2032,
Epstein said, the company expects to
have chips in over 300 million vehicles.
" These are life-saving technologies,
and 300 million cars around the world
that have these technologies is a great
achievement that we're very proud of, "
he said.
Our cars are getting hungry for more
sensors, and OEMs and suppliers are
all rushing to serve up just the right
package. With all of the tech advancements
being announced and more
money in the pipeline, it's an energizing
time to be into sensing. But let's
not forget the capabilities of the sensors
that already exist.
