Autonomous Vehicle Industry Overview
The autonomous (driverless) car market is a moderately consolidated one. Apart from manufacturers, players, including hardware and software firms, have started focusing on catering to the growing demand for autonomous driving technology in the automotive sector. Thus, partnerships, collaborations, and investments toward developing autonomous vehicles have increased significantly in the automotive sector. These initiatives are likely to continue growing during the forecast period, primarily due to increasing support from governments and private sectors across several countries to promote autonomous driving vehicle technology.
In January 2021, Automotive Grade Linux announced that it had included Aicas, AVL, and Citos as new bronze members. AGL is an open-source project at the Linux Foundation that brings together automakers, suppliers, and technology companies to accelerate the development of all vehicle technologies, including autonomous driving.
In January 2021, automotive technology company Veoneer Inc. and Qualcomm Technologies Inc. signed an agreement under which the companies will collaborate on delivering scalable Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Collaborative and Autonomous Driving (AD) solutions.
