Leading Automotive Manufacturers Are Competing Hard to Be First to Launch Advanced Autonomous Driving Technology, According to Navigant Research
A recent Leaderboard Report from Navigant
Research examines the strategy and execution of 18 original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs), including company profiles and rankings,
to provide industry participants with an objective assessment of these
companies' relative strengths and weaknesses in the developing
autonomous vehicle market.
Over the past decade, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) have
begun to proliferate from high-end luxury cars into affordable,
high-volume models. Led by Daimler, Audi, BMW, and General Motors (News - Alert), but
with the competition not far behind, major OEMs and Tier One suppliers
are actively developing Level 2, 3, and 4 automated driving technology. Click
to tweet: According to a recent report from @NavigantRSRCH,
leading automotive OEMs are competing hard to be the first to launch
advanced autonomous driving technology.
"Autonomous driving has been a long-term goal for the automotive
industry for decades," says David Alexander, senior research analyst
with Navigant Research. "While fully automated vehicles that operate
themselves with no driver present are still a decade away from volume
manufacturing, the incremental systems necessary as a foundation for the
related technology are expected to make their way into production during
the next five years or so."
As more of the population migrates to larger cities, it is not practical
for everyone to own a personal vehicle, new technologies such as
automated driving and wireless connectivity are going to be important
for travel in the smart cities of the future. According to the report,
fleets of autonomous cars and trucks are one solution to maintaining
personal mobility in cities as part of an integrated transport system.
The report, Navigant
Research Leaderboard Report: Autonomous Vehicle OEMs, examines
the strategy and execution of 18 global vehicle manufacturers that are
involved in the emerging autonomous vehicle market. These players are
rated on 12 criteria: vision, go-to-market strategy, partnerships,
production strategy, technology, geographic reach, sales, marketing and
distribution, product capability, product quality and reliability,
product portfolio, pricing, and company commitment. Using Navigant
Research's proprietary Leaderboard methodology, vendors are profiled,
rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with
an objective assessment of these OEMs' relative strengths and weaknesses
in the fast-developing market for ADAS and self-driving features. An
Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the Navigant
Research website.
