However, the absence of regimented protocols for software program development, imperfect connected infrastructure, and challenges in troubleshooting and sustaining automotive operating systems are impeding the progress of the market. Further, the potential of 5G and AI, growing developments in semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles, and data monetization in the extended automotive ecosystem are some of the factors that are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth. In addition, around 20.1% of the automotive operating system market share is in the automotive software industry.
Moreover, user interface is an interactive platform that is used as a medium for the user and the application to interact. New vehicles are being equipped with innovative technologies such as visual info-gratification including digital speedometers, climate control, navigation, driving assistance and other car settings. These digital infographics systems can be accessed through a touchscreen display, which is placed on the vehicle’s dashboard. In addition, in order to provide the same digital human experience to the users, leading automotive companies are improving the user interface (UI) inside the next vehicle generation by adding digital screens and human interfaces to the interior of a car. Such interfaces require software for technology integration, which in turn boosts the automotive software market growth. For instance, in January 2020, Rightware, the leading provider of automotive user interface software, introduced a new Kanzi reference HMI (Human-Machine Interface) platform, which combines the company’s suite of automotive user interface design software into an integrated solution to help automakers and suppliers deliver the best possible user experience in multi-display digital cockpits.
In addition, Startups such as Waymo, Uber, Embark, Einride, TuSimple, Ike and others have also started developing self-driving electric vehicles which integrated with advance operating system. For instance, Waymo has started testing its self-driving trucks since January 2020. Similarly, TuSimple plans to operate autonomous routes between Pheonix and Tucson in Arizona and some areas in Texas. Further, in May 2019, Einride had started its testing for driver-less trucks. In January 2019, Daimler announced an investment of $570 million for self-driving electric vehicles. Thus, self-driving technology will increase demand for electric vehicles in the long run due to the various advantages such as reduced accident risk, easy use, presence of value-added features among others. This technology is expected to mature by the next 5-6 years. Thus, the development of self-driving electric vehicle technology is opportunistic for market growth.
