Demand – Drivers, Limitations, and Opportunities
Market Demand Drivers: Development of Regulations for Autonomous Mobility
The advent of autonomous vehicles holds immense promise for revolutionizing road safety and alleviating traffic congestion. To fully harness the potential of this transformative technology, a comprehensive regulatory framework is crucial for evaluating the usability and safety of autonomous vehicles. Governments worldwide, including Japan, China, the U.S., and the U.K., are actively shaping regulatory frameworks to facilitate trials of a diverse range of passenger and commercial autonomous vehicles. Leading economies such as Israel are collaborating with the World Economic Forum to pioneer innovative approaches to autonomous vehicle regulation.
The deployment of autonomous vehicles is gaining momentum, with several ride-hailing companies in Arizona, U.S., operating hundreds of autonomous taxis each week, overseen by remote operators. Roboshuttle manufacturers are also expanding their operations across Europe, China, the U.S., and other regions. Additionally, autonomous vehicle manufacturers are lobbying several U.S. states to revise regulations that currently restrict public testing of autonomous vehicles. The growing number of enacted and pending regulations related to autonomous vehicles indicates that governments are actively supporting the development and adoption of this technology, which is expected to boost sales of autonomous vehicles over the forecast period from 2023 to 2033.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is poised to introduce a new regulatory framework that will enable light and heavy-duty autonomous vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds to operate on public roads. This streamlined regulatory approach is anticipated to accelerate the adoption of heavy-duty autonomous vehicles in the U.S. Europe has taken the lead in developing and implementing regulations that permit testing of semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles on European roads. On July 28, 2022, Germany enacted two pieces of legislation pertaining to autonomous vehicles, including an ordinance regulating the operation of motor vehicles with automated and autonomous driving functions and amending road traffic legislation and the Autonomous Driving Act.
These regulatory advancements have empowered vehicle manufacturers to shift their focus toward developing Level 4 autonomous vehicles for commercial applications. A prime example is MAN Trucks & Bus SE, which successfully completed the freight transport project "Autonomous Innovation in Terminal Operations (ANITA)" in May 2022, which aimed to facilitate the autonomous integration of heavy-duty freight vehicles. These developments, coupled with the emergence of favorable regulatory environments across the globe, are expected to significantly accelerate the adoption of heavy-duty autonomous vehicles.
Market Challenges: Underdeveloped Autonomous Vehicle Infrastructure
The limited availability of autonomous vehicle (AV) infrastructure is a major hurdle to the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles. This infrastructure includes dedicated lanes, charging stations, and communication networks that are specifically designed for AVs. These components are essential for enabling AVs to operate safely and efficiently.
Currently, AV deployment in developed countries is still in its early stages, with limited use cases primarily focused on research and development. For instance, companies such as Waymo and Tesla are pioneering AV technology, with Waymo testing autonomous vehicles on public roads in California and Arizona and Tesla incorporating autopilot features into its electric cars. However, broader adoption of AVs requires significant investments in infrastructure and technology, particularly in developing nations.
Integrating AVs into existing urban infrastructure poses a significant challenge in the planning of driverless cities. Existing roadways, traffic signals, and other infrastructure elements need to be adapted to accommodate AVs, ensuring seamless interaction and preventing conflicts with traditional vehicles. Standardization and interoperability are crucial for AV infrastructure to communicate effectively with AVs, enabling them to navigate safely and efficiently within the urban environment.
Developing and integrating AV infrastructure into existing urban environments requires substantial investments and careful planning to ensure seamless interaction between AVs and traditional vehicles. Rapid development of autonomous vehicle infrastructure across the world is expected to boost autonomous vehicle sales. Also, it will allow autonomous vehicle solution providers to test autonomous vehicles with levels of autonomy, such as Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5. As vehicles become more autonomous, the number of sensors per vehicle is expected to increase proportionally. Thus, this will boost the growth of the global thermal management market for ADAS.
Slow growth in the development of suitable infrastructure for autonomous vehicles is pulling the investment opportunities for investors in the autonomous vehicle space. The lack of developed autonomous vehicle infrastructure is restraining the growth of the thermal management market for ADAS.
