Automotive AI Market Fueled by $7 Billion Investment

The automotive technology market will continue to evolve as cognitive computing enhances the transportation sector. Self-learning artificial intelligence (AI) in automobiles is the key to unlocking the capabilities of autonomous cars and enhancing value to end users through virtual assistance.

This nascent technology offers original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) access to new revenue streams through licensing, partnerships and mobility services. Simultaneously, the use-case scenarios of self-learning AI in cars are drawing several IT vendors, Internet of Things (IoT) technology companies and mobile network service providers to the automotive industry.

The combined technologies have also attracted attention and investments from governments, due to its potential to improve urban lifestyles and add national and local economic development value.

Automotive AI Market Development

Frost & Sullivan -- which already offers market insights into power-trains, car-sharing and smart mobility management -- has recently released their latest analyses of artificial intelligence apps within vehicles.

By 2025, four levels of self-learning technology will disrupt the automotive industry, according to their latest market assessment. Level 4 self-learning car ownership will stimulate market growth, and create new partnerships with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

In fact, OEMs are making strategic investments or acquisitions for Level 3 and Level 4 self-learning technology -- Frost & Sullivan believes that there are already several prominent startups in the market.

"Technology companies are expected to be the new Tier I for OEMs for deep-learning technology," said Sistla Raghuvamsi, research analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Google and NVIDIA will be key companies within this space, dominating the market by 2025."

Meanwhile, thirteen OEMs will be investing over $7 billion in the development of various AI technology use cases. In particular, Hyundai, Toyota, and GM will account for 53.4 percent of the total investment share.

Outlook for Automotive AI Advancement

The key challenge for technology developers is gathering the data required to train AI to support self-driving capabilities. That need is advancing artificial simulation research to test trained AI, as well as create low-cost level 2 systems for driver analytics and assistance that can eventually provide data for levels 3 and 4.

"High processing capability with low power consumption will be critical to enable various levels of self-learning cars," noted Raghuvamsi. "By 2025, level 4 self-learning cars will integrate home, work and commercial networks, enhancing the value to end users."

Banking as a Service Gains New Momentum

The BaaS model has been adopted across a wide range of industries due to its ability to streamline financial processes for non-banks and foster innovation. BaaS has several industry-specific use cases, where it creates new revenue streams. Banking as a Service (BaaS) is rapidly emerging as a growth market, allowing non-bank businesses to integrate banking services into their core products and online platforms. As defined by Juniper Research, BaaS is "the delivery and integration of digital banking services by licensed banks, directly into the products of non-banking businesses, commonly through the use of APIs." BaaS Market Development The core idea is that licensed banks can rent out their regulated financial infrastructure through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to third-party Fintechs and other interested companies. This enables those organizations to offer banking capabilities like payment processing, account management, and debit or credit card issuance without
