Adaptive front lights are estimated to account for the largest share in the global market for semi-autonomous vehicles, whereas radar technology is estimated to account for the largest share of the global market for autonomous vehicles. Park assist technology is one of the most helpful techniques that aids in parking in most the congested spaces.

Passenger cars are expected to constitute the largest share, in term of value, in the global market for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles. This can be attributed to the growing need for highly secured personal cars and government norms in the emerging economies. It has triggered the demand for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles, from consumer side. The demand is expected to increase in developing and developed countries such as the US, Germany, China, and Japan, where key car manufacturers are located.

Europe and North America are estimated to account for the largest share, in terms of volume, of the semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles market in 2016. This has led to an increase in vehicle production volumes over the years, with OEMs catering not only to the domestic demand but to overseas demand as well.
