Automotive Edge AI Accelerators Market

To get key market trends

The automotive edge AI accelerators market is rapidly transforming with the adoption of real-time data processing in the vehicle. Edge AI accelerators are components, such as GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and NPUs, used to run AI inference in the vehicle. They are a crucial part of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), driver monitoring, voice recognition, and smart infotainment systems. The automotive industry is shifting from traditional vehicles to software-defined vehicles and connected digital platforms which is impelling the demand for efficient localized AI processors.

One of the primary factors driving this market is the transition to autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles. The greater the degree of vehicle automation, the greater the need for real-time processing of data from varying levels of sensors and datalinks, including cameras, LiDAR, and Radar. A key component of vehicle safety and performance relies on virtually no latency in processing data, which AI acceleration at the edge offers.

The boom in electric vehicles is creating demand for energy-efficient processing hardware to handle limited battery life. Regulatory drivers have important implications for securing performance in the commercial market, for instance, international standards like ISO 26262 functional safety, UNECE WP.29 cybersecurity and software updates are pushing toward higher performance edge AI solutions.

The market is also being impacted by a few emerging technological trends. The most significant trend is the advent of chiplet-based architecture. Chiplet modular architecture provides advantages for manufacturers building AI systems that can be easily expanded, updated, and built cost-effectively.

For instance, XPeng has introduced its internal "touring" AI chip, designed to support performance and advanced autonomous features. Another example "Eagle-N" is an AI-spon platform, developed by Tenstorrent and BOS Semiconductor, which is aimed at applications in both infotainment and autonomous driving.

The market is led by North America, owing to its remarkable semiconductor ecosystem, advanced research on autonomous driving, and higher adoption of AI-based technology by major automotive OEMs. The key chip makers like NVIDIA, Intel, and Qualcomm are based in North America and continue to create automotive-grade AI accelerators.

Furthermore, the supportive regulatory framework for vehicle safety, innovation and the large amounts of investment in connected and electric vehicle infrastructure supports North America's leadership in the market. Tech-driven automakers and mobility startups are in the region and facilitate faster deployment of edge AI solutions across the vehicle segments.

Automotive Edge AI Accelerators Market Trends

The automotive edge AI accelerators industry is undergoing various transformative trends, such as growing focus on AI safety and certification standards. Automotive manufacturers are now compelled to establish AI systems that comply with safety protocols. A prime example is Geely Auto, which has become the first automotive manufacturer to receive accreditation using ISO/PAS 8800:2024, the first standards body in the world to recognize a standard for road vehicle safety for AI.

An emerging trend in the automotive industry is the use of mixed-critical platforms, or system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. These platforms allow for both safety-critical functionality and non-critical AI execution on a single chip, while managing real-time operation such as braking or steering commands. Recent research has confirmed that these mixed-critical designs can be built using 16-nanometer semiconductor technology. The designs combine programmable accelerator compute engines with modified fixed-function AI units while providing strict execution-time ensures critical functions.

Alongside mixed-criticality processing, zonal computing is emerging as a transformative shift in vehicle architecture by gradually replacing the traditional centralized computing architecture. A zonal architecture distributes computing resources and AI accelerator engines across zones of the vehicle instead of a centralized model.

Therefore, complexity of data movement and wiring throughout the vehicle is reduced. In addition to reduced wiring and complexity, zonal processing allows for improvements in system latencies and thermal management. By providing computational resources in closer proximity to the sensors and actuators, zonal architecture provides improved responsiveness to data commands, as well as allowing a more modular and scalable vehicle system.

Vision acceleration is also evolving with the emergence of in-sensor computing. New design image sensors now have convolution operations embedded directly in the image sensor to accelerate processing and minimize the requirement of transmitting large volumes of raw data between sensor and processor. These new sensor designs are extremely energy efficient and provide fast, low-latency outputs needed for safety-critical applications such as pedestrian detection or driver alerts.

Driver monitoring systems (DMS), once an optional component, are now a regulatory requirement in many countries. Current European safety regulations require a DMS that can detect driver distraction and driver fatigue. Responding to these regulatory developments, automotive OEMs have developed AI accelerators specifically for DMS applications, that now permit in-vehicle analysis of driver facial expression, eye movement, and driver posture.

Automotive Edge AI Accelerators Market Analysis

Automotive Edge AI Accelerators Market, By Processor, 2022 - 2034 (USD Billion)
Learn more about the key segments shaping this market

Based on processor, the automotive edge AI accelerators market is divided among central processing unit (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) segment dominated the market, accounting for around 44% in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 24.1% through 2025 to 2034.

  • The category of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) is the leading type of processor in the automotive edge AI accelerators market compared to all processor types. ASICs are chips designed to perform a particular task or set of tasks with the highest possible efficiency.
  • These chips are specifically designed to have architecture that maximizes their inputs and outputs to run complex AI workloads, including perception, decision-making, and sensor fusion, with the objective of deriving the optimal speed and energy consumption possible.
  • One of the primary reasons that ASICs prevail in the auto AI processor market is they provide better performance when it comes to tasks involving real-time AI inference. ASICs have a fixed function configuration and do not have overhead computation that is typical of other more general-purpose processors.
  • For instance, Mobileye sold over 200 million units of its EyeQ series ASICs, which are widely deployed within ADAS systems around the world. The Tesla custom full self-driving (FSD) chip is another instance of an automotive-grade ASIC, designed to handle large amounts of sensor data while using ultra-low latency and minimal energy consumption.
  • Other general-purpose processing units are unable to balance both safety and performance. GPUs are more appropriate for prototyping, simulation, or infotainment applications, rather than in core safety-critical AI functions. FPGAs are known for their reconfigurability and viability during development or where extra flexibility is required but are less efficient and more costly per unit when approaching mass deployment.
  • CPUs are general-purpose processors designed to handle a wide range of tasks, primarily focusing on overall system management and computational operations. However, they lack the capability to perform the real-time inference needed for AI in driving scenarios, especially when processing multiple frames simultaneously.
Automotive Edge AI Accelerators Market Share, By Power, 2024
Learn more about the key segments shaping this market

Based on power, the automotive edge AI accelerators market is segmented into low power <5W, mid power 5-10W, and high power >10W. Mid power 5-10W segment dominates the market with around 58% share in 2024, and the segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.8% from 2025 to 2034.

  • The market is dominated by the mid-power range (5–10W) segment due to an acceptable combination of performance, efficiency, and thermal considerations. Multi-camera perception and sensor fusion for in-vehicle AI applications, including real time object detection, require adequate processing power but not at the expense of increased heat or energy drain in the design.
  • The mid-power range provides enough headroom to conduct these functions reliably within the practical limits of energy and cooling for more modern vehicle designs. For example, embedded computing platforms, such as the Jetson AGX Xavier by NVIDIA are configured to run around 10W but are still able to function as a relatively powerful inference platform using AI.
  • These computing platforms can accomplish relatively heavy perception functions, including pedestrian detect and lane keeping assist, while not requiring heavy cooling or draining energy from the vehicle's battery at overwhelming rates.
  • The low-power domain (below 5W) is tasked on less compute-heavy or always-on applications. This would include driver monitoring systems, in-cabin sensing, voice recognition and basic environmental perception. For example, chips like Hailo-10H are reported to operate under 3W and they are suited for applications that operate continuously without placing undue load on the vehicle power source system.
  • The high-power segment (above 10W) can tackle more demanding applications, for instance Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous driving, level 4 driving requires processing data from several high-resolution sensors simultaneously. Systems that require these capabilities should include domain controllers (DPUs) with high-performance NPUs or special accelerators functioning at or above a compute level of 100 to 200 TOPS.

Based on level of autonomy, the automotive edge AI accelerators market is segmented among level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4, and level 5. Level 2 segment dominates the market with around market share of 63% in 2024.

  • The automotive edge AI accelerator market is segmented by level of autonomy with Level 2 being the largest segment, as Level 2 systems allow vehicles to control steering and acceleration (or braking) simultaneously while the driver continues to be actively engaged in the driving task. Level 2 systems have emerged as the dominant, industry-standard automation level for passenger vehicles in international markets, since they offer the consensus balance of safety, consumer convenience and regulatory complexity.
  • Mainstream passenger vehicles manufactured by companies, such as Nissan, Hyundai, and Toyota, have developed Level 2 systems to perform functions, such as adaptive cruise control, lane centering and traffic jam assistance. Level 2 was recognized as viable for significant commercial adoption in part due to its moderate processing requirements and the well-established AI software frameworks for development.
  • Level 1 autonomy includes "single function" systems, such as lane departure warning or adaptive cruise control, that are also widespread but demand for AI accelerators is less impactful. Level 1 functions run on chips with less performance and low-level microcontrollers and do not engage higher-end edge AI and have a relatively insignificant presence in the overall accelerator market as they relate more to safety compliance than high-performance AI.
  • Level 3 automation is beginning to make its mark, especially in luxury vehicles. Level 3 automation allows the vehicle to handle the driving task under certain conditions, while the driver retains the ability to intervene when they receive a prompt. Mercedes-Benz has developed Level 3 systems called Drive Pilot for restricted speed highway driving.
  • Vehicles with Level 3 automation will require a much higher level of computing resources than a Level 2 vehicle, as they must handle real-time perception, environmental mapping, and fallback safety responses. As a result, companies will require greater amounts of high-performance edge AI accelerators capable of handling real-time data.
  • Moreover, Level 4 and Level 5 automation, defined as high and full automation respectively, are predicted to increase faster than the other levels. Right now they are not commercialized in consumer markets, however, they are starting to emerge in fleet-based scenarios for autonomous taxi services, last mile delivery vehicles, and urban mobility services.
  • Waymo and Cruise have even launched pilot programs for a Level 4 robotaxi service in several cities. Both automation levels require extensive edge AI accelerators to process data with ultra-low latency and high reliability from many cameras, LiDAR, radar, and ultrasonic sensors.

Based on vehicle, the automotive edge AI accelerators market is segmented into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger cars dominate the market with share of around 78% in 2024.

  • The passenger vehicle segment represents the largest share in the automotive edge AI accelerators market, driven by the number of passenger vehicles on the road, and the growing interest in using AI in advanced vehicle driver assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment, in-cabin monitoring, and the associated safety features.
  • There is a growing trend among the vehicle manufacturers, especially for premium and mid-range vehicles to implement edge AI hardware to improve driver comfort, safety, and user experience, which has only reinforced demand in this segment.
  • Electric vehicle manufacturers around the world, particularly in Asia Pacific and Europe, are pushing the integration of AI chips for passenger cars. For example, some EV manufacturers are developing AI accelerators to enable high-performance capable of handling multi-sensor perception and in-vehicle generative AI interfaces.
  • Moreover, chip manufacturers are developing edge AI accelerators specifically for passenger vehicles. These systems are designed to enable real-time facial recognition, driver fatigue monitoring, personalized voice assistance, and enhanced navigation. As these features become standard consumer expectations, the demand for embedded AI computing in the passenger car market is on the rise.
  • While edge AI applications in commercial vehicles (trucks, vans, buses) account for a smaller portion of the overall edge AI accelerator market, it is a growing category. The use of edge AI for commercial vehicles is primarily to monitor driver behavior, predictive maintenance, collision avoidance, and telematics. Each of the applications mentioned helps advance fleet safety and efficiency but entails less sophisticated AI processing than passenger vehicles.
