Demand for Enhanced Comfort and Safety Features in Passenger Cars Impels Growth in the North American Embedded Software Market The North American passenger car industry has been witnessing tremendous growth over the past few years, with its fashion-conscious consumers not merely looking for a smooth ride, but also for the latest technology, which would provide a pleasant in-vehicle experience. Consumer awareness of technical and luxury advancements in the passenger car industry is translating into demand for software in automobiles. The use of software allows the mapping of many functions within the same control unit of one subsystem. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are keen on replacing the existing multiple subsystems within each electronic control unit to increase the level of performance. "This is not only enabling OEMs to reduce costs on discrete components, but to also reduce the size of the control units," notes the analyst of this research service. Replacement of mechanical components with function-rich yet lightweight electronic control units have resulted in low exhaust emissions, low fuel consumption, and low noise in passenger cars. R&D Efforts to Integrate Automotive Software Can Increase Manufacturers’ Market Share OEMs are investing in research and development (R&D) to further increase the performance level of passenger cars due to government emission regulations and safety-critical active and passive features. This is further underlined by performance enhancements delivered by the utilization of software applications on the existing hardware platforms. In addition, consumer demand for higher levels of safety and driver information triggers the need for more intelligence in vehicles. Features such as electronic stability program, adaptive cruise control, lane detection, pedestrian protection, night vision, and telematics are being integrated in vehicles to meet this growing demand. OEMs are also trying to integrate the braking, steering, and suspension systems in vehicles. Integration of communication systems such as mobile phones and the Internet within vehicles is also being made possible with the use of software. "With increasing customer demand for advanced feature integration in North American vehicles, product innovation can help secure profit margins," cites the analyst.
