Renault Opens Autonomous Vehicle Test Zone
China: Renault has opened its first
test zone for self-driving cars in the country, which is likely to boost the
development of low emission and autonomous vehicles. Moreover, an electric autonomous
car by Renault already operates on a 2-km long lakeside road in the Sino-French
Wuhan Ecological Demonstration city in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, China.
As per company, autonomous
vehicles make drive safer, less stressful and driving enjoyable. For instance,
Renault has planned to introduce “eyes off” technology on its core range
vehicle by the end of 2020.
Moreover, the test zone would
be open for visitors to experience the autonomous vehicle technology, which is
built by the Renault group, Dongfeng Renault Automotive Company (DRAC) and
Wuhan Caidian Ecological Development Group.
As per TechSci Research, the test
zone opened by Renault, is a step ahead in the autonomous vehicle technology
segment, which is expected to result in the advancement of automotive industry
of the country. Moreover, the continuously growing investment in the autonomous
car technology market, is anticipated to enhance the growth of the overall industry,
worldwide.
According to a recent report
published by TechSci Research, “Global
Autonomous Car Technology Market Forecast and
Opportunities, 2035 – ADAS, Semi-Autonomous, Fully-Autonomous”, globally, the automobile
sector has been constantly evolving in terms of engine performance and design.
Apart from these parameters, evolution of autonomous features in passenger cars
is garnering attention of consumers across the world. Global autonomous car
technology market is primarily divided into three segments - Advanced Driver
Assistance System (ADAS) car technologies, semi-autonomous car technology and
fully-autonomous car technology. ADAS technologies are currently moving at a
brisk pace on account of rising inclination towards greater automation.
Moreover, fully-autonomous cars are expected to be commercially available by
2025, which is expected to translate into dramatic growth in the market.
