Opportunity: Autonomous renting car services
The rapid development in automotive technology is moving the world towards connected, shared, electric, and ultimately autonomous vehicle. In the near future, autonomous vehicles are expected to play a key role in car renting services as, with advancements in technology, consumers will trust autonomous cars as a safe mode of transport. In 2018, leading autonomous driving technology development company Waymo has partnered with self-driving rental car company Avis Budget Group, which owns about 580,000 vehicles in 11,000 locations in 180 countries. Moreover, in 2017, Rent-A-Car, the largest rental car service operator in the US, signed an agreement with autonomous driving technology startup Voyage to manage its fleet of autonomous cars. As per the agreement, the car rental company will handle the maintenance of the autonomous vehicle fleet. Autonomous car renting is expected to reduce per-mile cost, which is expected to be a significant reason for the growth of these vehicles. With such developments in America, autonomous car renting service is expected to hit the roads within a span of 5 to 7 years. This is a significant opportunity for the HD maps market. Also, in the Asia Pacific region leading transportation network companies such as Ola and Uber are investing in autonomous vehicle technology, which is expected to boost the HD maps market.

The passenger vehicle segment of the autonomous vehicle is estimated to be the largest in the HD mapping market. Many of the top OEMs especially in the Chinese market which has invested in HD mapping are inclined towards passenger vehicles, which is accompanied by the fact that the laws concerning passenger vehicles are less rigid as compared to commercial vehicles. The commercial vehicle segment of autonomous vehicles is expected to be commercialized post-2023, after which this market is estimated to occupy a large share of the HD mapping market. The stringent regulation on driving hours and tight delivery schedules will drive this market, especially for autonomous trucks for the coming years.
The cloud-based service for HD mapping holds the largest share of the HD maps, by solution market. Many of the top players in the HD mapping market such as NVIDIA, HERE Technologies, TomTom, and Baidu, to name a few are using a cloud platform to offer their HD mapping solutions. This is accompanied by the fact that cloud-based service is more flexible, accurate, and needs lesser storage space when compared to HD installed as an embedded system in autonomous vehicles.
HD mapping is offered for both semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles, of which the semi-autonomous vehicle segment currently holds the largest share of the HD mapping market. This is because the HD mapping specification required for an autonomous vehicle is complex when compared to a semi-autonomous vehicle, which mainly requires features such as Co-operative Adaptive, Cruise Control, Highway Autopilot, Auto Lane Change, and Hands-free Auto Parking. The other factor that helps the semi-autonomous market is the public’s concern about the safety of autonomous driving vehicles. But with the improvement in technology and increase in government initiatives for autonomous driving, this market is expected to grow over the forecast period.

Currently, the HD mapping market is dominated by North America, which is accompanied by the fact that large customer base and high disposable income of end-users, especially in the US, have fueled the demand for high-end safety vehicles, which in turn has resulted in increasing innovations and partnership by international automotive OEMs which has helped in the growth of HD map in this region. Also, the emerging economies of Asia Oceania, which include China and India, are expected to grow over the years.
The growing economy, favorable financial environment, high disposable income, and increasing vehicle production are factors fostering the growth of the passenger car segment in these regions. Moreover, increasing production of luxury vehicles and high demand for safety and convenience features in North America and Europe are expected to further propel the demand for HD maps in autonomous vehicles during the forecast period.
