The past few years have seen a surge in the number of start-ups providing an array of services for the automotive industry. Likewise, their offerings extend across the industry landscape - with products spanning infotainment, telematics, safety, security, and autonomous driving functions. Their offering within these areas is similarly diverse, with some autonomous start-ups developing specific sensors, and others developing full sensor suites.

In a similar fashion to mainstream OEMs, the start-up landscape is consistently evolving at a fast pace. A wide variety of start-ups today are regularly announcing new technologies or systems while securing partnerships, investments, and even acquisitions from legacy OEMs looking to boost their offering, or newer players looking to gain footing. As start-ups continue to innovate the industry's interest in them and their offerings will only continue to grow.
