State of ADAS, Automation, and Connectivity

Abstract

The vehicles are currently in a new stage of development, including advanced driver assistance, connectivity and automation. The timing and path of implementation of this technology remains uncertain due to continued technology development and changing consumer preferences. Although this new technology is still evolving, understanding the current automotive landscape helps to understand what the future holds. The Center for Automotive Research is dedicated to keeping the public informed about the current state of automotive technology. In 2017, 2019 and 2020, CAR released roadmaps outlining the current and likely future state of automotive technology. To ensure that the information contained in CAR's forecasts remains current and reflects the latest automotive technologies, trends and expectations, CAR conducts ongoing research and hosts industry roundtables. Industry roundtable experts include automakers, component vendors, technology vendors, data vendors, autonomous platform vendors and technology investors. Following the roundtable, the CAR developed an updated roadmap and white paper reflecting industry trends and expectations. This article summarizes key issues in the development and deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicles (AV), and vehicle connectivity technologies.
