Robocar's 2018 reverse puts ADAS in drive

摘要

From Uber‘’s first fatality accident in March to Waymo's substantially scaled-back commercial self-driving service launch in December, 2018 offered a clear reminder that "autonomy" remains a goal not easily reached, whether by emerging tech startups, leading automotive OEMs/tier ones, or even well-funded self-driving pioneers like Waymo.Looking back on 2018, Egil Juliussen, director of research for Infotainment and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Automotive at IHS Markit, told us: "The realization that autonomous vehicles are really hard sunk-in - especially proving that the software is safe."EE Times asked several leading thinkers on autonomous vehicle (AV) technology to list key events in 2018 that have changed the trajectory of the industry's outlook.Among a range of insights, one agreement has emerged: In 2018, the tech/automotive industries started to walk back their own expectations for AVs. In parallel, many analysts see 2019 as the rebound year for ADAS.
