These materials are critical for technologies such as 5G mmWave and future 6G telecommunications which is expected to see deployment around 2030, as well as for automotive radar systems for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Similarly, data center infrastructure is shifting toward ultra-high data rates exceeding 200Gbps amplifying the need for materials that can perform reliably and maintain signal integrity under such demanding conditions.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/low-loss-materials-the-key-enablers-for-high-speed-connectivity/34054?rsst2id=250https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/low-loss-materials-the-key-enablers-for-high-speed-connectivity/34054?rsst2id=250Thu, 20 Nov 2025 ZZZs.selim@idtechex.com (Dr Shababa Selim) 'Robotics' takes on many different forms today.

During that time, it has transformed from enabling luxury features on the most expensive cars, to being used ubiquitously for basic safety features in almost all new cars. This article goes through the three most important takeaways from the report. Starting with the huge growth that will be driven by side radars used in short-range applications.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/three-key-takeaways-from-idtechexs-new-automotive-radar-market-report/32433?rsst2id=250https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/three-key-takeaways-from-idtechexs-new-automotive-radar-market-report/32433?rsst2id=250Mon, 20 Jan 2025 ZZZj.jeffs@idtechex.com (Dr James Jeffs) Autonomous buses represent one of the most challenging platforms in the autonomous driving industry. In recent years, commercial interest has shifted towards roboshuttles and robotaxis, partly due to the complex operational design domains (ODD) of autonomous buses.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/challenges-and-opportunities-in-the-2024-autonomous-bus-industry/31559?rsst2id=250https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/challenges-and-opportunities-in-the-2024-autonomous-bus-industry/31559?rsst2id=250Wed, 14 Aug 2024 ZZZs.fu@idtechex.com (Shihao Fu) By 2044, it is expected that the global trucking fleet will be supported by an additional half a million L4 autonomous drivers, while the remaining drivers will either act as supervisors or work in less developed regions. The autonomous truck industry is projected to have an annual growth rate of 25.6% over the next 20 years.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/autonomous-trucking-delivering-on-hopes-and-goods/31383?rsst2id=250https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/autonomous-trucking-delivering-on-hopes-and-goods/31383?rsst2id=250Thu, 11 Jul 2024 ZZZs.fu@idtechex.com (Shihao Fu) Radar miniaturization is one of the key trends that IDTechEx has identified in "Automotive Radar 2022-2042". There are several factors that are contributing towards this, such as moving from 24GHz to 77GHz which shrinks the antenna size. Or, transitioning from SiGe-BiCMOS based transceivers to Si-CMOS ones, which reduces the number of discrete computational components and shrinks the circuit board. So, with the size continuing to come down, IDTechEx asks, how small can it get?https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/in-the-future-your-entire-car-could-be-a-radar-antenna-says-idtechex/26046?rsst2id=250https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/in-the-future-your-entire-car-could-be-a-radar-antenna-says-idtechex/26046?rsst2id=250Tue, 01 Mar 2022 ZZZj.jeffs@idtechex.com (Dr James Jeffs) The latest IDTechEx report, "Automotive Radar 2022-2042", showcases all the technology innovations that are propelling the performance of radar into new unchartered territory. Given all the benefits that radar can offer, why then would Tesla be moving away and focussing on a camera only sensor suite?https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/tesla-dropping-radar-was-a-mistake-here-is-why/25619?rsst2id=250https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/tesla-dropping-radar-was-a-mistake-here-is-why/25619?rsst2id=250Thu, 06 Jan 2022 ZZZj.jeffs@idtechex.com (Dr James Jeffs) Radar is fundamental to automotive safety and critical to achieving emerging level 4 autonomy. While today more than 50% of new cars are shipped with one or more radars, by 2042 all new vehicles will come with multiple radars as they become a key enabler for future mobility modes, according to IDTechEx's latest report, "Automotive Radar 2022-2042".https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/three-reasons-radar-is-critical-for-the-future-of-mobility/25442?rsst2id=250https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/three-reasons-radar-is-critical-for-the-future-of-mobility/25442?rsst2id=250Tue, 07 Dec 2021 ZZZj.jeffs@idtechex.com (Dr James Jeffs)
