Automotive Event Data Recorder Market Trends

A major ongoing trend in the automotive event data recorder (EDR) industry is the integration of these systems with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). As vehicles increasingly feature ADAS technologies such as automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control, EDRs are evolving to record data from these systems. This integration allows for more comprehensive accident analysis by capturing data not only on traditional metrics like speed and braking but also on the performance and interventions of ADAS features.

For instance, if an automatic braking system is activated before a collision, the EDR can provide detailed insights into its performance, contributing to more accurate crash investigations and improved vehicle safety features.

In July 2023, Infineon Technologies launched advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies with integrated EDR. Solutions such as the RASIC™ radar chips and AURIX™ microcontrollers are enhancing ADAS applications, improving system integration, and reducing complexity. These innovations support functions such as radar, camera, and sensor fusion. Additionally, new devices comply with ISO 26262 safety standards, ensuring high-speed interfaces and automated decision-making for features such as emergency braking.
