Automotive Autonomous Vehicles - Global Sector Overview and Forecast (Q1 2022 Update)

Summary

As cars become ever more sophisticated in terms of technology and performance, a new market segment is emerging - the Autonomous, or Semi-Autonomous Vehicle. The roadmap and timeline to the fully autonomous vehicle remains far from clear. The technology for vehicles that drive themselves is here today, but at a cost that is far from what is required for it to become an economic reality.

Furthermore, if autonomous driving is to become a reality massive investment both at a national, regional and local level will be required in the infrastructure and systems necessary for its implementation. Whether governments and politicians have the resources, or the political will required to make such investment, and see this market develop in the short term, remains to be seen.

However, there are clear signs that all interested parties are testing the water and trials are being run to test the technology and systems required. Indeed, Google has been one of the first to run trials of its technology on a self-driving vehicle in California, USA. Many of the vehicle manufacturers are running similar trials to a greater or lesser extent.

The potential market for autonomous vehicles is difficult to value in both absolute and monetary terms but a recent study, suggested a market of US$2 trillion. While this seems to be somewhat exaggerated it does go to show why so much money is being invested by traditional and non-traditional automotive sector players into developing the technology.
