Evolving Automotive Lidar Technologies and Business Landscape, Discussed by IDTechEx – Yahoo Finance
BOSTON, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Light detection and ranging, or lidar, has decades of history since the invention of the laser, and it has already been adopted in applications such as mapping, surveying, military, archaeology, agriculture, geology, etc. With the innovation of lidar beam steering technologies, continuous lidar cost reduction, as well as the progress of Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) and Autonomous vehicles (AV), lidars are embracing their potential US$8.4 billion-dollar market by 2033, enabled by automotive applications, which can be further widely expanded to other areas such as robotics, industrial, smart city, and mapping. The IDTechEx report “Lidar 2023-2033: Technologies, Players, Markets & Forecasts” provides research on lidar from technology, business, and market to players.
Bigger Opportunities Enabled by ADAS and AV
Autonomy is another big trend after electrification in the automotive sector. Automotive autonomy can potentially change our lifestyle and also offers huge business opportunities for existing and emerging technologies. An important part of autonomy is sensing and recognition. Sensors such as cameras, ultrasonic systems, and radars can already provide useful information for this purpose. However, none of them are perfect. For instance, cameras offer color and high-definition images but suffer from poor depth information and can be easily affected by the sun. The ultrasonic system is very cheap but has a very short detection range. Radar is quite robust to bad weather conditions but gives very poor resolution. The typical 2-3° angular resolution (e.g. 2° at 100m cannot distinguish a distance larger than 3.4m) of radar makes most object detection challenging.
Opinions on which sensors to include in an ADAS/AV system are controversial as they involve different cost structures. More sensors can also generate confusing information, leading to a more difficult decision-making process. However, as time goes by, more and more OEM and Tier-1 companies believe lidar should be included in the sensor suite for redundancy purposes. As the AV evolves to higher levels of autonomy, this demand becomes more obvious.
Competitive Technology Landscape
The huge demand for vehicles and high investment from the automotive industry has attracted tremendous players to work in the lidar area. Currently, lidar is still relatively immature, with an unestablished supply chain or a clear market landscape. For instance, in terms of technology area, IDTechEx has segmented the technology analysis into four areas: measurement process, emitter, beam steering mechanism, and receiver.
While the real scenario can be more complicated, such as with the addition of wavelength choice and optical system selection. Even the hardware technology is a result of complicated sub-technology combinations, not to say when algorithms, software, and system solutions are taken into consideration. The rapid development of different technologies makes the lidar market complicated. However, not all technologies have equal opportunities. Some technology combinations are easier to be commercialized, while some tend to be a failure.
From Materials, and Components to Systems
Lidar development provides opportunities to various industries and players within the supply chain. Lidar hardware can be simplified as a combination of a few major component modules. For example, beam steering mechanisms have attracted tremendous attention, and lots of innovations are around them. They enable 3D scanning and determine lidar reliability. However, equal attention should be given to transmitter and receiver modules are they will largely determine lidar performance and play an important role in further cost reduction. Control and processing modules, on the other hand, usually have higher technology barriers, and they can also offer space for a price drop. An understanding of the whole supply chain, from materials, and components to systems, can assist in better strategic decision-making.

The ‘70s are coming back in a big way, and while that’s not so bad in fashion or in music, it’s safe to say that no one really wants that ‘70s economy back. That was the decade that brought stagflation, a nasty mix of high inflation, increasing unemployment, and stagnant job growth. Economists had long thought that combo impossible, but the economic mismanagement of the Carter Administration proved them wrong. At least one top economist, Mohamed El-Erian from Allianz, sees a stagflationary perio
