Automotive Technology

Research Service

The Automotive Technology Research Service provides in-depth analysis of the latest technology for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Hybrid and Electric Vehicles. The service also includes coverage of related topics such as automotive human-machine interfaces (HMI), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and infotainment, and complements our Commercial Telematics and Connected Car research services. Detailed data forecasts are provided for all the major ADAS functions broken down by major world region, and this is updated semi-annually, as is a similar product focusing on hybrid and electric vehicles (both consumer and commercial). The core underlying data forecasts that are also used in our other automotive-related coverage is available as a separate data file that is updated quarterly.

 Hybrid and electric vehicle coverage analyses the overall potential market for vehicles with this new powertrain, and uses that data to project how quickly the infrastructure must change to support growth. ADAS features are now rapidly becoming available in mainstream vehicles and the market is starting to mature. The ATECH service will study how both ADAS and electric power are influencing the evolution of automobile architecture, and how the car of the future will develop in parallel with Smart Cities and the changing needs of society.
