The complexities of next generation semi and highly automated driving, clubbed with the increasing number of complimentary qualities among vision sensors, makes it challenging for ADAS system developers to decide on the most compatible sensor suite. Sensor fusion as a technique allows developers to choose the right sensor combination, where ADAS implementation is executed by using data from various sensors rather than just one sensor. This report looks at the current and future sensor fusion approaches and the market shares of each sensor and indicates the best approaches for OEMs and suppliers looking to use this technology to propel their growth in the fast evolving ADAS and automated driving market.
