We have been working with innovators in Lidar and they are genuinely excited about the pace of change in this industry and concerned about being able to follow the complex technology and IP space. That is why we have proposed a vigorous study to provide accurate and transparent information and insight to participants.
Bruce Rubinger, CEO, Global Prior Art
The Study ‘Next Generation Lidar study for Automotive’ will aim to answer the following questions:
Who is doing what in the Lidar space?
- What are the winning/waning technologies across the landscape?
- What are the disruptive technologies to watch for?
- What other red flags should we be monitoring?
- Who should we be partnering with? Who is partnering with whom?
- Are we partnering with vendors having the most competitive new technology plus strong patents?
- What are the most recent developments in the technology?
- What is China’s approach to the technology?
- Implications for the global market?
- Who are the new emerging players and in which areas of the technology? And what makes them different?
- Trend spotting: With technology changing rapidly and many new players are emerging and what trends or developments are we missing?
- Which key emerging technologies can accelerate our product development efforts?
- How will newer technologies impact vehicle design and elevate vehicle safety as a key differentiator
- Which newer LiDAR technologies can enhance vehicle & pedestrian safety in fog, snow, or rain?
- What is the technology and IP roadmap being pursued by competitors in Europe, Korea, Japan and China?
- Analysis of Products being developed. Future outlook for Lidar offerings (lower cost, superior performance in rain and fog, merging of players, etc.
