From automated driving technologies to electric vehicles, companies are navigating safety and reliability challenges as vehicles increase in complexity. Solution providers are offering comprehensive automotive toolsets—powered by data modeling, analytics, and simulation—whose depth and breadth mirror the complexity of vehicle design today. In the wake of these developments, the global automotive safety systems market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6 percent between 2022 to 2027.
Among the technologies that are enhancing driver safety, augmented reality (AR) is the most notable. It proactively alerts the driver in case of emergencies by superimposing images on the head-up display (HUD) and reduces accidents due to human error. Biometric seats are another notable technology, monitoring drivers’ faces and palms to measure anxiety levels and advise them when to take a break to avoid fatigue on the road.
To put the spotlight on such key developments, Auto Tech Outlook illustrates how automobile companies are leveraging the latest technologies to augment drivers’ safety operations. This edition also features a thought leadership article from Mark Sutton, VP Engineering APAC at Adient, Stefan Gudmundsson, Chief Innovation Officer, Karma Automotive LLC, and Rick Winick, Vice President and General Manager at Honeywell, who sheds light on the evolution of automotive seating and different potential refrigerants that can keep passengers and batteries cool.
In this edition of Auto Tech Outlook magazine, we also bring to you the story of some of the top automotive safety and security solution providers. In the list, System Technologies stands out for providing in-vehicle cameras, recorders, and fleet management software to reduce accident frequency, loss ratios, driving offense allegations, whiplash/personal injury claims, and insurance premiums. We also bring to you the story of CTMS for providing its industry-recognized cybersecurity framework to help modern auto dealerships safeguard crucial businesses and customer data.
Through the following pages, we aim to shine a light on the innovative trends and latest developments in the automotive safety and securitysector. We would like to know your thoughts.
