Market Overview
On average passenger vehicle sales are expected to grow by 4.5 percent between 2021 and 2030. At this pace the industry would take 3-4 years to regain the sales volume of 2019
Looking at the state of autonomous vehicles in 2021 there are many impressive milestones that have been achieved by companies such as Waymo, Baidu, Cruise, Aptiv, Yandex, Aurora, and Lyft among many others offering autonomous shared mobility solutions. At the same time, technology developers along with the OEMs are also witnessing unforeseen challenges
The total worldwide radar sales estimated in 2020 was 83.7 million units for passenger vehicles ADAS and autonomous driving applications. The sales are expected to witness growth by 16.7 percent in 2021 to reach 97.7 million, respectively. With the expected growth in the demand for level 2 featured passenger cars, the demand for radar is expected to grow by 12.1 percent, between 2021 and 2030.
The total sales of LRR in 2020 was 14.4 million units, which is expected to grow to 33.5 million units by the end of 2025. The demand is expected to grow as the rate of level 2 features deployment in passenger vehicles gain momentum. By 2030, it is estimated that the total sales of LRR will cross 61.3 million units.
Unlike LRR, the price of SRR or MRR is relatively cheaper, which makes it ideal for applications such as blind-spot detection and collision warning or assist system. On an average two SRR/MRR are used in level 1 vehicles, however, as the system level complexity increases, the number could increase to 4 or 5 depending on the level of automation. It is estimated that the total SRR sales will grow to 80.1 million units in 2021, witnessing growth from 69.3 million units in 2020. The growth potential is immense with the deployment of L2 and autonomous features in vehicles. By 2030, the total sales demand is expected to cross 195.6 million units, at an estimated CAGR of 10.4 percent, between 2021 and 2030.
The widely used 24GHz frequency band for short range radar is expected to be gradually replaced by 79GHz band, as the narrow 24GHz band is relatively weaker in object recognition and range detection.
Companies such as SmartMicro and Aptiv are already offering the SRR in 79GHz band majorly for blind spot detection, lane change assist and cross traffic alert. OEMs use combination of minimum 4 to 6 SRR and MRR to attain 360- degree horizontal coverage. BMW uses SRR& MRR from Continental for its level 2 models; few models of Honda, Jeep, and Mercedes uses Veoneer’s radar; Volkswagen uses SRR from Bosch and Hella.
The 79 GHz module is expected to witness high market penetration post 2022 with total sales expected to reach 35.7 million units by 2025. The 77 GHz module is expected to grow to 118.5 million units by 2025 and 163.7 million units by 2030, at an estimated CAGR of 13.5 percent, between 2021 and 2030.
Although the industry currently is led by the radar MCU players, however, the future trends is clearly towards more sophisticated technology that is cost optimized and provide high performance. 4D imaging radar is one such solution in which signal processing and decision making occupies central position.
According to estimates, the 4D imaging radars are expected to witness initial deployment from 2020 with close to XX thousand units in sales. The sales are expected to pick up growth trends post 2025 with majority of AV companies, OEMs, and Tier 1s using 4D radars for world-facing and in-cabin monitoring applications. By 2025, the sales are expected to cross XX million units and is further expected to cross XX million units in sales by 2030.
The 4D imaging radar sensing technology is expected to penetrate at higher rate in the exterior sensing market and also hold potential to possible replace the conventional radar systems in coming years.
From the market adoption perspective, the radar sensor and semiconductor companies have already started using 79 GHz for medium and short range ADAS applications. Until the complete adoption of 79 GHz, 24 GHz SRR radar market is expected have smaller market presence. This change has offered unprecedented flexibility to the sensor players as it allows the integration of AI and other processing technologies with radar capabilities. All new entrants in the radar space have unveiled their products in 4D imaging technology space catering to short, medium, and long-range ADAS applications.
Several technologies are being adopted by players in this new radar domain. Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) antenna array technique, CMOS processing, FMCW technology, Phased Array, and solid-state technology are few of the major 4D radar imaging technologies being embraced by the sensor and chip manufactures.
Recently in April 2021, Vayyar Imaging Ltd., Valeo North America Inc., Infineon Technologies Americas Corp., Tesla Inc., IEE Sensing Inc., and Brose North America Inc. has received a waiver permitting the operation of radar-based vehicle cabin monitors in the 57-71 GHz band from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission). The permit is intended towards enhancing the passenger safety and theft prevention applications. These companies are the legal first movers in the in- cabin radar sensing space and expected to equip their systems in passenger cars by 2023.
That is my problem it can be read either way but as you say neither is negative.Are they announcing their own product - the app? Made possible by Akida. Awesome either way

I have been reading these types of announcements for so long now I feel able to use all my five senses when they are deliberately vague about power consumption and use terms like ultra low power, low power and in this case a fraction of the power of a data centre and not mention it can run on a tiny battery and sniff, taste, feel, hear and see multi watts of power not milli or micro watts.New competition?

T, I'm staggered by this conversation. No mention of the product moving to commercialization, no mention of contracts in place, nor any mention of the league of heavy hitters in the EAP. Staggering. He mentions he "went down a rabbit hole last night" Must have been dug by a kitten, and I reckon if he spent 5 minutes doing research, we'd be lucky. So how much time have these flogs researched the companies they're recommending? I'll do my own research thanks, and blame myself for any bad decisions. Tracking quite nicely thanks.

I have a conspiracy theory-I think these guys know all about it,but are busy accumulating a position-so of course they will talk it down,until they have their fill,then as if by magic their sentiment will suddenly change and BRN will become a market darling.(Even Scott Phillips will see the light and it will be a MF top 5 pickListening to that infuriated meI gotta take a chill pill now. They don’t know a thing about the company yet feel they are qualified to pass judgement about it.
