Automotive is witnessing what Feulner calls
a " triple acceleration " of the radar sensor market.
According to NXP, in 2020 there was an average of one
radar sensor per vehicle; that will increase within a few
years to five or more sensors per vehicle - perhaps four
corner radars, a front radar and maybe a rear-facing
radar for rear collision avoidance. The trend is occurring
entirely within the ADAS space, up to and including
SAE Level 3. He said there is growing demand from
OEMs for the so-called " Level 2+ " automated-driving
systems that support a growing list of safety-and-comfort features such as 360-degree surround sensing and
higher-performance/higher-resolution sensors that
support systems like GM's Super Cruise. OEMs are
increasingly offering such systems in upper-range cars
and light trucks to optimize the driving experience and
to differentiate their brands and model ranges.
" The Level 2+ comfort features offer [SAE] Level 3
autonomy capabilities without the liabilities associated
with the higher levels of autonomy, because the driver
still needs to keep hands on the wheel, " Feulner said.
He added that NXP also sees mobility-as-a-service
(MaaS) applications, including robotaxis and delivery
services, " where cost sensitivity isn't as acute as in
typical passenger cars, " as another important market.
