Autonomous Driving Systems, ADAS

automakers

This report contains information on laws and regulations related to autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), major technological trends, market size, and the strategies of major automakers for the next generation.
It analyzes the latest trends in the key devices and software technologies that underpin the next generation of AD and ADAS. These include major sensors (e.g., cameras, radars, and LiDAR), E/E architectures, automotive system-on-chips (SoCs), end-to-end artificial intelligence (AI), vision-language models (VLMs), and vision-language-action models (VLAs).
It also examines installation trends of Level 2 (advanced driver assistance), Level 2+ (Navigation on Autopilot [NOA] on highways), Level 2++ (NOA in urban areas), Level 3 (conditional automation), and Level 4 (advanced automation) by region, level, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The report provides configurations for AD, ADAS, digital cockpits, and IVI systems, as well as SoC adoption, AI, and E2E measures and development strategies for Japanese, American, European, and Chinese automakers.
The 2026 edition restructures the market forecast categories, separating the traditional Level 2 into Level 2+ (Navigation on Autopilot [NOA] on highways) and Level 2++ (NOA in urban areas). The report estimates new car installations by region (Japan, Europe, the United States, China, India, and ASEAN) and forecasts the global AD and ADAS market size through 2035.
