Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/k8dtq9/strategic) has announced the addition of the "Strategic Analysis of Autonomous Vehicle Evolution in Asia-Pacific " report to their offering.

This market insight offers an analysis of the evolution of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in Asia-Pacific. It discusses key developments in AVs in Asia-Pacific countries, such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and China, from 2013 to 2030.

The insight also assesses original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and government efforts for AVs, trials for AVs for research and development (R&D), and challenges to the development of these vehicles in each country. The market insight includes an executive summary, a discussion of the countries evaluating AVs in Asia-Pacific, and conclusions and a future outlook.

Key Findings

R&D of AV's across Asia-Pacific:

- Japan is at the forefront of AV R&D, along with the United States and Europe.

- Major Asia-Pacific automakers have established tie ups/JVs with educational research institutions and/or electronic companies for dedicated AV R&D efforts.

On-road Trials of AVs across Asia-Pacific:

- Japan leads Asia-Pacific in terms of on-road AV trials. Nissan, Toyota, and Honda have conducted elaborate trials with maneuvers, such as stopping at traffic lights, making turns and changing lanes.

- Singapore and China have also commenced AV trials on designated roads. In South Korea, AV trials are expected to commence from February 2016.

Government Support is Critical to AV Development:

- Governments across Asia-Pacific support the development of the AV industry by infusing investments, demarcating test areas, and providing regulatory support.

- Governments in Asia-Pacific are setting up committees at the country level to formulate strategies and plans for AV development in the region.

Top OEMs Involved in AV Development:

- Japan's Nissan, Toyota, and Honda; South Korea's Hyundai and Kia; and China's BYD, Great Wall, Chang'an, BaiduBMW,and SAIC are involved in AV development.

- Most OEMs have tied up with universities and educational institutes to promote AV development.

AV Commercialization in Asia-Pacific Post 2020:

- Japan plans to showcase its AV capability in time for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In China, Baidu-BMW and Great Wall aim to launch commercial AVs by 2020, while Chang'an and SAIC have planned their AV launches for 2025.

- South Korea plans to launch semi-AVs, initially, and AVs by 2030. Singapore is also expected to fully commercialize AVs by 2030.
