When it rolls out, the automotive landscape will be greatly impacted by level 4 autonomy. This impact can already be felt across multiple sectors – with autonomous services being piloted or launched in different regions, and OEMs fitting more L4 features and systems onto their latest vehicles. This level of autonomy will also pave the way for new players while providing new opportunities for further automotive sectors such as mobility and trucking.

Despite the prosperity of L4 autonomy, its evolution and eventual release relies heavily on a number of factors. For instance, any OEM, supplier, or company wishing to benefit from it will face a series of legal and regulatory challenges to ensure their systems are safe for use on public roads. At the same time, these players must also consider the best commercial practices for these systems to secure and maintain revenue as the ecosystem becomes more competitive.

The L4 Autonomy Forecast delivers comprehensive insights into the expected growth of fully autonomous vehicles and services across different regions and segments. It assesses which segments will generate the most opportunities for L4 autonomy over time, while understanding how it is expected to be deployed over the next decade.
