GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE NIGHT VISION SYSTEMS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024-2031)

Key Developments

• In December 2021, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, a Japanese multinational electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing company, announced that it had developed a new concept car, the EMIRAI xS Drive, equipped with near-infrared cameras and radio-wave sensors to monitor the driver and passengers, and an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) to provide adaptive control of the headlights, both of which help to avoid traffic accidents.
• In April 2021, Hanwha Systems participated in a consortium led by Erae AMS, an automotive parts maker, and was selected for a project to develop a thermal imaging fusion 3D camera that can respond day and night. By January 2025, the consortium will develop a 3D fusion camera with AI-based deep learning technology that can accurately recognize objects more than 250 meters away in a level 4 autonomous driving environment that requires no intervention from drivers.
• In May 2020, FLIR Systems Inc. released first European Thermal Imaging Dataset for Automotive Driver Assistance Development for machine vision testing. Designed to help auto manufacturers enhance and accelerate work on safety, advanced driver assistance-systems (ADAS), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, the dataset features thousands of annotated thermal images of daytime, nighttime and various weather scenarios from six cities across Europe.
• In December 2020, The VOYAH brand, under Dongfeng Motor Corporation (Dongfeng Motor), launched VOYAH FREE, a mid-sized electric SUV in the mid to large-size category, in Shenzhen. The vehicle is equipped with an advanced night vision system that provides visibility up to 150 meters and features AI-based recognition and alert capabilities.
