Sensor Fusion Technology will Drive Growth in Autonomous Vehicles

There is a growing demand for advanced autonomous vehicles including level 3, 4 and 5 with the emergence of advanced sensors for connected and autonomous infrastructure. More sensors are used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving to provide greater information about a vehicle’s surroundings. More sophisticated sensor fusion will increasingly be needed to process and interpret the plethora of real-time sensor data. Increased sensor technology is currently adopted in vehicle safety and control. OEMs are continuously improving vehicle performance and safety. Sensors are increasingly being integrated into automotive control systems to achieve performance optimization and enhance the durability and reliability, as well as energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of the vehicle. Smart mobility, luxury cars and stringent regulations on emissions and safety drive the demand for automotive sensors. The increasing proliferation of electric vehicles and electrification is driving the sales of automotive sensors.

This research study mainly covers pressure sensors, position sensors, motion sensors, temperature sensors, speed sensors and LiDAR.
