Increase in demand for advanced vehicle safety and comfort systems
The demand for safety features, such as parking assistance, collision avoidance systems, lane departure warnings, traction control, electronic stability control, tire pressure monitors, airbags, and telematics is experiencing an upward trend, owing to increase in number of road accidents worldwide. Automotive chips are a major component used in numerous advance driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies, which helps ADAS systems perform efficiently and can detect and classify objects on the path of vehicle, and accordingly alert the driver of the nearby surroundings and road conditions. In addition, these systems can also automatically decelerate or stop the vehicle depending on the road conditions based on the calculations made through chips & associated components.
Road accidents are a major cause of death globally and tremendous increase in the death rates due to road accidents has been observed in last few years. For instance, according to World Health Organization’s report published in 2022, nearly 1.3 million people died in road traffic crashes each year. Moreover, road traffic injuries leading to death are higher among teenagers. These factors are leading to surge in demand for safety features in vehicles. Companies operating in the automobile sector are developing and introducing the safety features to meet the needs of the customers. For instance, in February 2020, HELLA (company that manufacturers cutting-edge lighting and electronics components) announced the production plan for the latest 77 GHz radar technology.
As a crucial application of complementary metal oxide chips (CMOS) radar, automotive radar is evolving as a key technology supporting the functioning of smart and autonomous features in modern vehicles, for instance, reducing driver stress, relieving drivers from repetitive tasks, and adding life-saving automatic interventions.
