DUBLIN, Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The “Synergy – Autonomous Car and 5G Technologies: Markets, Standardization, Technologies” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The report provides overview of the current status of the driverless car development, pictures the future steps, which the industry is planning, analyzes roadblocks, and emphasizes the importance of standardization – several organizations are working in this direction. The analysis concentrates on technological and marketing aspects of driverless cars and also on the status of the industry.
Though never managing to successfully predict what each forthcoming generation of mobile technology should deliver to satisfy future users, the industry has nonetheless reached some consensus on the use cases for 5G communications. Machine to machine communications is one. 5G should enable the IoT, the future where all online-enabled objects will quietly pass on data to each other or to a central computer.
Facilitating the use of mobile networks by connected and autonomous cars, remotely controlled industrial robots, telehealth systems, and smart city infrastructure are also all expected to figure large in 5G thinking. There is a common notion the industry is hoping that 5G will solve problems we don’t have today, but those that could hold us back years in the future – and one of the best examples to such a statement is a driverless car.
This particular report addresses the Intelligent Transportation Systems progress in reaching its ultimate goal – to make a car “intelligent” enough to safely drive without a human participation. It also updates the status of a driverless car development in connection with transition to the 5G era: the industry identified driverless cars as most viable form of ITS, dominating the roadways by 2040 and sparking dramatic changes in vehicular travel. The report discusses the specifics of the 5G era as they are seen by the industry at the present time with emphasis on what 5G technologies can bring to the driverless car.
Such a car was considered by many as a scientists’ dream only 10-15 years ago; now it is a reality and all predictions are that driverless cars will hit the roads in 6-8 years. Fully developed driverless car needs support by communications systems evolving in the transition to 5G; and these two developments are interrelated – a driverless car becomes a 5G use case.
Note that prognosis that were made in 2012-2018 regarding the rapid development of smart roads with a wide commercialization of driverless cars already in 2022-2023 proved to be ephemeral. Currently, such dates moved to 2027-2030 and even they seem to be too optimistic.
The survey of driverless cars projects currently underway is conducted; as well as the survey of related patents (2018-2022). Initial marketing statistics are developed.
The detailed analysis of two important parts of a driverless car – lidar (one of the main components of ADAS) and the communications gear – “connected car” – is performed. The survey of recent auto lidar patents is also performed.
A driverless car, for simplicity, may be described as a combination of a connected car and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems); and other parts. The ADAS important part is driverless car “eyes” – instruments that can “see” surroundings and provide the information to the car for the analysis and taking relevant actions. One of most promising technologies that make cars “to see” is lidar, which is composed of laser and other parts. The report provides the detailed analysis of auto lidar technical and marketing characteristics and the survey of the industry.
The detailed analysis of connected cars (CCs) specifics, standardization, technical characteristics and economics are also presented in this report. The industry solution for the CC communication gear is to design and manage concurrent operation of multiple wireless technologies using the same spectrum frequencies. This accelerates advanced technologies development and saves resources.
The companies – contributors to the connected car market development – are identified and their portfolios are analyzed.
The report also emphasizes the importance of 5G mobile networking as a basis for the driverless car ITS revolution. With “ultimate” ITS, it is expected that safety on the roads will be drastically improved and the society will be free from massive number of injuries and deaths on the roads as well as from damages to the economy due to accidents and traffic jams.
A preliminary evaluation of the COVID-19 impact on the driverless car industry development is presented.
The report is intended to technical and managerial staff involved in the advanced ITS development; and for specialists in communications technologies who support such a development.
The goal of this report is to:
- Analyze current trends in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) development
- Address the progress in the ITS standardization
- Analyze technological and marketing ITS specifics
- Address the connected car trend
- Analyze the connected car technologies and marketing specifics; identify major industry players and their portfolios
- Present the current status of the driverless car development
- Analyze marketing and technological driverless car specifics
- Analyze the lidar technologies and market as well as the industry for automotive applications
- Show how communications industry is preparing for the 5G era, emphasizing the role of 5G mobile communications in supporting the driverless car development. The driverless car is one of important 5G use cases.
