Autonomous vehicles

Wednesday 13 January 2021 - This webinar, presented by IDTechEx Chairman Dr Peter Harrop, explains how, of the trillions of dollars being spent on smart cities, the advanced materials part is rising to hundreds of billions yearly.

This article analyzes the recently revealed robotaxi from Amazon-owned Zoox.

In 2020 smart cities have been pivoting reinvented hardware and associated systems.

Tuesday 15 December 2020 (3 sessions to choose from) - The current state of global agriculture; Key technology trends in the field of agricultural robotics; Enabling technologies in agricultural robotics; and Case study discussions of autonomous tractors and robotic fresh fruit picking.

A comprehensive study and market assessment of 3D lidar, with a focus on the automotive sector, reveals that while the market for lidar has expanded, the next few years will prove crucial for all involved.

The focus of smart cities has changed. In 2020, smart cities have been pivoting reinvented hardware and associated systems.

The IDTechEx report "Advanced Electric Cars 2020 - 2040" forecasts fuel-cell cars globally through 2040, and finds they continue to be a commercial failure for the next two decades.

18 November 2020 - The expenditure on new technologies for emerging smart cities will pass one trillion dollars yearly. That is the subject of this webinar -sharing some of the research carried out by PhD level multilingual IDTechEx analysts worldwide for their new overview report on smart city technologies with 35 forecasts.

Uniquely, the new IDTechEx Research report analyses and forecasts the major disruptive opportunities for radically new city materials, equipment and systems totalling a $1.7 trillion market in 2041.

A report on the topic by IDTechEx embraces farming, forestry and turf care in the form of robotics, some initially with diesel vehicles. Mostly however, hybrid and pure electric agricultural vehicles are covered, mostly not robotic as yet.
