Exploring the 5 W’s of Full AV Stacks

Many participants in the autonomous vehicle market will not be able to keep investing at accustomed levels. We review the shifting AV landscape by...

eetasia.com, May. 12, 2020 – 

The world – both the AV industry and the media – is conceding that the road to Level 4 and Level 5 self-driving cars is still long and winding.

Delayed autonomous vehicle launches by multiple leading car OEMs and tech suppliers are sufficient evidence, but if those data points aren't enough, an even stronger telltale sign is that discussions have begun among tech companies and car OEMs acknowledging that the development of fully autonomous vehicles can't be achieved "without an ecosystem" to support it.

While commitments by each company might vary, carmakers and tech firms have begun forging collaborations to tackle the challenge of making self-driving cars drive safely. This pragmatic approach contrasts vividly with the heady days five years ago when the emerging market was flush with VC money and riddled with bombastic AV claims and market predictions.

Now it is a foregone conclusion that AV startups propped by hype and cheap VC money will vaporize, as the investment community's enthusiasm for L4 and L5 starts to wane and Covid-19 gnaws away at the broader economy.

One conclusion, however, is clear: those who have already made substantial investment – and certain progress – in the development of AV platforms aren't walking away from the development of their own full AV stack. They see it as the biggest tech challenge of a lifetime and still see it as determining their fortunes in the long haul, if not in the immediate future.
