The autonomous car market in the region is anticipated to increase due to the technological advancement, focus on vehicle automation and growing demand for luxury vehicles. Also, the support for the adoption of ADAS technology towards vehicle automation and self-driven cars will have an impact on the market growth. Additionally, the European Union has made it mandatory that all vehicles should be equipped with autonomous emergency-braking systems and forward-collision warning systems by 2020, supporting the widespread adoption of ADAS technology.

According to the Graphical Research new growth forecast report titled “Europe Autonomous Cars Market Size, By Level of Autonomy (Level-1, Level-2, Level-3, Level-4), By Type (Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), 2019-2024”, estimated to exceed 22 million units by 2024.

The growth in the region is propelled to various R&D activities in collaboration of OEM with technology providers. The prominent players in the region are conducting various R&D activities to develop new autonomous vehicle solution. These players are increasing the R&D spending to deploy new technologies in the self-driving cars.

The high cost of autonomous vehicles is hindering the growth. The autonomous vehicle requires high-tech infrastructure, hugely expensive LiDAR and radar systems, princely deals with high-definition maps and cloud computing provider. The cost associated with all these high-tech requirement increases the overall price of the autonomous cars. Additionally, poor 4G network connectivity limits the growth of autonomous cars in the region.
