Sensors, Haptics & Displays

Infrared sensors are becoming more popular in vehicles for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), in-cabin sensing, and driver monitoring systems (DMS), largely due to advancements in vehicle safety and awareness. This increasing adoption of ADAS on regular vehicles alongside safety regulations will create more opportunities for IR technologies.

The applications for haptics are much wider than the vibration alerts we are most familiar with. In this short video, IDTechEx Senior Technology Analyst Sam Dale explains how the market is set to shift over the next decade.
