Five major automotive industry development trends affecting brake technology of cars and light vehicles

According to foreign media reports, according to Chassis Brakes International, the five major trends in the automotive industry will affect the future of car and light vehicle braking technology, as detailed below:

Electricization (Electrification) - According to Bloomberg estimates, electric vehicles will account for 24% of all new vehicle sales in the near future. Electromobility and other abatement initiatives help drive the adoption of electro-mechanical parking brakes (EMPB) and regenerative braking systems.

Autopilot - It is expected that by 2030, 35% of new cars will be self-driving vehicles (SAE L3-L5). Such vehicles require automated emergency-brake systems, architecture redundancy, hardware and software robustness. In the future, the line control system will also be adopted.

Intelligent Networking (Connectivity) - Intelligent Networking is moving toward sophisticated vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I) and shop floor communications (V2V), which allows vehicles to understand each other's driving positions. Future braking systems need to be electrified and associated with the above systems.

New mobility - The new pay-as-you-go shared mobile travel will be integrated into smartphone integration, allowing intuitive operations to schedule driverless taxis. By 2030, the profit of this trend will account for 40% of the profits of the entire automotive industry, and the demand for mature braking technology will also increase.

Lightweight - The automotive industry needs to reduce the weight of the car, and this demand will become even more urgent. If the brake is made of lighter aluminum, it will help reduce the weight of the vehicle without sacrificing passenger safety.

In order to meet the performance, durability, and weight reduction requirements of the brake system in the next 10-15 years, Ubisoft believes that the automotive industry needs to turn to the concept of the smart brake system, which will provide dry (wet) brake solutions. All four wheels have redundant values. (This article is taken from roboticsandautomationnews.com)
