Re-shaping Automotive Radar: Huge Technology Transition

Dec 10, 2024 | idtechex.com | James Jeffs

Automotive radar is going through a huge technology transition. There is growing demand for higher resolution radars and several technologies are emerging to meet these new requirements. In this IDTechEx webinar, the emerging technology options will be explained, and IDTechEx will give its take on which technologies it thinks have the most promise for the future.
The Autonomous Car Industry in 2024: Three Key Takeaways

Nov 21, 2024 | idtechex.com | James Jeffs

Autonomous driving technologies have seemingly been on the horizon for the last decade, maybe more. But, IDTechEx's report on the topic, "Autonomous Vehicles Market 2025-2045: Robotaxis, Autonomous Cars, Sensors ", shows that autonomous driving technologies have arrived and are changing the automotive industry forever. The market research report from IDTechEx highlights how quickly the industry has started moving since 2020.
Getting Electric Planes Off The Ground

Nov 21, 2024 | idtechex.com | James Jeffs

It is no secret that the weight of batteries makes building electric planes an engineering challenge. It might be a surprise then that IDTechEx's report "Sustainable Future Aviation 2025-2045: Trends, Technologies, Forecasts" predicts that almost one-quarter of planes sold in 2045 will be battery-electric powered. The report also highlights the scale of the challenges faced by electric aviation, with weight, range, ownership costs, and even carbon footprint all needing consideration.

Autonomous Vehicle Industries Now and in 10 Years

Nov 20, 2024 | idtechex.com | James Jeffs

After years of development, numerous hurdles, and uncountable unfulfilled promises, it looks like the robotaxi industry is finally taking shape. Over the past couple of years, IDTechEx has reported on the emergence of commercial robotaxi services but has always needed to caveat this with the fact that they have been heavily restricted.

The Hydrogen Value Chain, Emerging Power and Aviation Applications

Nov 12, 2024 | idtechex.com | Chingis Idrissov |James Jeffs |Maia Benstead

The hydrogen value chain, often referred to as the hydrogen economy, has experienced significant momentum in recent years, driven by various factors on both the demand and supply sides. On the demand side, there is a strong push from industries to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, particularly in areas such as refining and ammonia/fertilizer production, driven by regulatory pressures like carbon taxes.

IDTechEx's report, "Sustainable Future Aviation 2025-2045: Trends, Technologies, Forecasts", finds that hydrogen is likely to be a main contender for decarbonizing the aviation industry. The report finds that the hydrogen commercial airliner market will exceed US$20 billion in 2045. However, the technology used on the planes and the source of the hydrogen needs to be considered carefully before the industry can celebrate significant carbon reductions.
