AMEYA360:<span style='color:red'>AVs</span> See the Future with Perception Sensors
  Autonomous driving has moved from hype to reality, and it might be some time before autonomous vehicles (AVs) allow their passengers to watch a movie or admire the scenery while driving them safely to their destination. In this blurry picture, camera, radar and LiDAR units are the “eyes” of the vehicles, mapping the road to full autonomy.  To gain an objective view of the present situation and prospects, EE Times consulted Pierrick Boulay, senior technology and market analyst in the Photonics and Sensing Division at Yole Intelligence, part of Yole Group. Pierre Cambou, principal analyst in the Photonics and Sensing Division at Yole Intelligence, also contributed to the analysis.  “It is clear that the automotive industry has underestimated how difficult it would be to develop autonomous driving features,” Boulay said. “Ten years ago, the industry expected that autonomous driving would be more common. It was one of Tesla’s promises, and if we look at where we are today, Tesla has still not achieved full autonomous driving features.”  The only automated features have been implemented by European and Japanese OEMs, and these features are still limited to highways, with driving speeds up to 60 km/h, Boulay said. “It is almost a useless feature and quite far from what people expected 10 years ago.”  During Tesla’s Autonomy Day in April 2019, CEO Elon Musk made a bold prediction: “By the middle of next year, we’ll have over a million Tesla cars on the road with full self-driving hardware, feature complete, at a reliability level that we would consider that no one needs to pay attention [to the road].”  A wave of euphoria swept through the automotive industry. Tesla’s stock price rocketed, and investors poured jaw-dropping amounts of money into startups as optimists claimed AVs were just around the corner.  A sense of disillusionment came when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced it had received incident reports for 392 crashes related to partial self-driving and driver-assistance systems in the 10 months between July 1, 2021, and May 15, 2022. Almost 70% of them, or 273, were Tesla vehicles using Autopilot or the Full Self-Driving beta, while Honda cars were involved in 90 crashes and Subaru models in 10.  The AV era is forging ahead and continues to pledge enhanced driving safety. As of March 20, 2023, 42 companies have received test permits with safety drivers, and seven companies have driverless test permits in specific areas in California. Three companies—Cruise, Nuro and Waymo—have deployment permits.  Yet full autonomy is taking longer to deliver than promised, and the need for capital expenditure is exploding. From the perspective of perception sensors, why is autonomous driving still a distant dream?

Germany Leads Europe in <span style='color:red'>AVs</span>, Robotics
  Germany is perceived to be a clear leader amongst European countries in the race to build a world-leading position in autonomous vehicles and robotics, according to the latest annual State of European Tech 2017 report published by VC firm Atomico.  In a survey of 3,500 people from across the European tech industry, respondents said Germany would be a leader in autonomous vehicles, robotics and quantum computing, while the UK would lead in artificial intelligence and France in drones.  According to the report, about $3.5 billion has been invested this year in Europe's deep tech companies — which includes semiconductors, IoT, robotics and artificial intelligence — in more than 600 deals. European chip companies have raised about $1.1 billion in 172 deals since 2012, according to the report.  The UK has seen the largest amount of capital invested in deep tech companies so far in 2017 (about $1.8 billion), followed by France ($509 million) and Germany ($400 million), according to the report.  The report also found that Europe’s most promising deep tech companies are raising large rounds and actively choosing to stay independent to continue to build and take on global opportunities. It cites recent fundraising rounds by Graphcore, with its $50 million investment lead by Sequoia Capital; Lilium which raised $90 million lead by Tencent; and FiveAI which raised $35 million in a round lead by Lakestar.  "European entrepreneurs are catalyzing the development of AI technology and the proliferation of AI-powered applications," said David Kelnar, an investment director at MMC Ventures. "As AI reaches an inflection point in adoption, early-stage AI companies will empower buyers that have the vision to embrace them and disrupt those that do not."  According to Kelnar, Europe is home to about 900 startups focused on AI, roughly 70 percent of the number of AI-focused startups based in the U.S. Europe also boasts a quarter of the world's top 50 universities and a flourishing ecosystem for entrepreneurship, he added.  Europe accounts for the largest share of top 100 AI research institutions worldwide, according to the report. There are 32 research institutions in the global top 100 for AI-related research paper citations in Europe, compared to 30 from the U.S. and 15 from China, according to the report.  This is the third year that Atomico has created this report, which it calls the most comprehensive data-driven story of European technology today. It teamed up with existing partners LinkedIn, Stack Overflow, Meetup, Dealroom.co, the London Stock Exchange, Quid, European Startup Initiative, Signal and Invest Europe, as well as partners such as the European Investment Fund, Craft.co, and TokenData, Silicon Valley Bank and Orrick.  The 143-page report covers a broad range of areas including the entrepreneur ecosystem, talent, capital flows, and deep tech.  Overall, it sees a picture of an ecosystem in "rude health." Europe is building a tech ecosystem in its own image, defined by deep tech expertise, geographic diversification, and a collaborative approach with traditional industry. The report argues that solid foundations have been laid — a huge and deep talent pool, founders with global ambition levels, and a large, growing and increasingly sophisticated investor base — meaning that Europe marches to its own beat.
