Global Automotive Seat Belt Pretensioner Market Outlook, 2019-2020 & 2027: Rise in the Number of Accidents and Government Initiatives Propelling the Growth of the Market

DUBLIN, Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Automotive Seat Belt Pretensioner -…

DUBLIN, Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Automotive Seat Belt Pretensioner – Global Market Outlook (2019-2027)» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Global Automotive Seat Belt Pretensioner market accounted for $3.07 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $6.17 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period.

Growing sales of luxury vehicles and rising safety concerns as a result of the rise in the number of accidents and government initiatives are some of the factors propelling the growth of the market. However, high cost and low disposable incomes in underdeveloped economies are hampering the growth of the market.

A seat belt pretensioner is a part of the seat belt system in the vehicle that locks the seatbelt in place in the event of a crash. This is an addition to the basic seatbelt of a vehicle that has been proven to decrease the number of injuries and deaths from crashes.

Based on the technology, the retractors segment is anticipated to hold considerable market share during the forecast period as the majority of constructors choose installing the pretensioner along with the retractor because a combination of the retractor and pretensioner holds a higher retraction force to grip the occupant firmly on the seat.

By geography, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a significant market share during the forecast period owing to rapidly growing automotive manufacturing in China and India, increasing investment by various market players and government initiatives in India and China.

What the Report offers:

Market share assessments for the regional and country-level segments
Strategic recommendations for the new entrants
Covers Market data for the years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2024 and 2027
Market Trends (Drivers, Constraints, Opportunities, Threats, Challenges, Investment Opportunities, and recommendations)

NODAR Launches Hammerhead 3D Vision Platform for Mainstream Autonomy

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — NODAR, Inc. today released the first demonstration of its Hammerhead™ 3D vision platform, taking an important step towards truly safe, mainstream autonomous driving. NODAR Hammerhead™ produces high-density 3D point-clouds at ranges up to 1,000m with astonishing accuracy, eclipsing mono-camera and LiDAR performance and paving the way to L3 and higher autonomy. This unprecedented achievement includes small object detection at previously impossible ranges. In the demonstration released today, Hammerhead™ is used to detect and accurately measure the distance to a 10cm brick at a distance of 150m (video demo available at http://www.nodarsensor.com).

Reaching this milestone is groundbreaking in two key ways: 1) detecting unknown objects at 150m provides ample time to safely avoid collisions at highway speeds (4.5 seconds at 120kph/74mph) & 2) competitive solutions based on a single camera utilizing AI and inferencing may be able to detect known large objects at this range, however, many lethal obstructions will be unknown to these systems or too small, and will fail detection. NODAR’s technology measures the physical environment in real-time, providing distance data for every pixel in view, regardless of whether an object is known or unknown.

Beyond small object detection, NODAR Hammerhead™ delivers a new level of safety where existing solutions fall flat. Mono-camera solutions relying on deep learning to estimate depth are inherently limited by finite training sets, compute requirements, and known object ambiguity (adult vs. child can introduce range error of 50%), exposing life-threatening uncertainty. Numerous fatal and highly publicized accidents in recent years serve to emphasize the shortcomings of existing systems. LiDARs rely on scanning beams and can easily miss small objects. The LiDAR scanning process takes precious time, whereas a camera-based system offers >20X the area coverage rate with the reliability, robustness, and low price of high volume solid-state cameras. Last, NODAR produces frame-by-frame disparity maps every 33 milliseconds while single-camera systems and LiDAR must aggregate and analyze data before producing results, causing significantly slower performance.

The significant advances in performance, accuracy, and reliability that NODAR brings will yield better performance around critical edge cases, higher levels of safety and an increase in lives saved, at lower cost than current approaches.

Bio-inspired by the hammerhead shark, which has the best depth perception in the animal kingdom due to the wide separation between its eyes, NODAR Hammerhead™ uses data from multiple cameras to calculate real physical measurements of distance to targets. The unique advantage of NODAR’s system is the ability to mount the cameras independently in long-baseline configurations, such as in the sideview mirrors, headlamps, or on the roof. With highly accurate long-range 3D sensing and no reliance upon inferred measurements, Hammerhead™ accurately captures instances of banked roads, disabled vehicles, and road debris – edge cases that other vision systems will miss.

Leaf Jiang, NODAR founder and CEO, speaks to the significance of today’s demonstration: «The automotive world knows that current ADAS systems must advance to ensure human safety. Today, we’ve taken a fundamental step towards demonstrating that higher levels of automated driving are achievable with existing sensor technology in the immediate term. At NODAR we believe autonomy should never compromise safety, and that a camera-based solution is the only way to deliver on the performance, safety, and pricing requirements of the mainstream automotive market.»

NODAR software algorithms run efficiently on OEM computing resources, processing image data from OEM-specified cameras. NODAR is currently engaged in POCs with several automotive OEMs and Tier 1s and is actively seeking partners. For more information, please email contact@nodarsensor.com.

Based in Cambridge, MA, NODAR is a venture-backed company developing camera-based high-performance 3D vision technology for use in mass-market automotive ADAS and autonomous vehicle applications. For more information, please visit http://www.nodarsensor.com.

Except as required by law, Tapinator undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The quoting and trading of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Marketplace is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the Company’s operations or business prospects. As a result, there may be volatility in the market price of the shares of the Company’s common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Marketplace is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on it is often more sporadic than trading of securities listed on a national securities exchange. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company, please see the Company’s Supplemental Information Report filed with the OTC Markets as provided here: https://backend.otcmarkets.com/otcapi/company/financial-report/241817/content.
