The Mobility Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) covers innovations pertaining to AI-powered autonomous driving, software-defined vehicle (SDV), charging, chip architecture, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

The purpose of the Mobility Technology TOE is to raise awareness of global technology innovations in self-propelled ground-based mobile platforms that are not only technically significant but potentially offering commercial value. Each monthly TOE provides subscribers valuable descriptions and analyses of 10 noteworthy innovations. The main focus is on highway-licensed motor vehicles (light, medium and heavy). Passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, scooters and railway locomotives are within the product scope, energized by any fuel. Many of the innovations concern powertrains (internal combustion engines, turbines, battery electrics, fuel cell electrics, hybrid-electrics), as well as drivetrains (including transmissions), interiors--seating and displays, advanced materials--as for body/chassis, wireless connectivity, and self-driving technology that is currently receiving so much attention. The Mobility TOE outlines and evaluates each innovation, notes which organizations and developers are involved, projects the likely timing for commercialization, furnishes a patent analysis, and provides valuable strategic analytics for industry stakeholders. The TOE also explores the answers to questions like:

• How are powertrains, drivetrains, wireless connectivity, and self-driving technology transforming highway-licensed motor vehicles?
• What role do three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing play in unlocking growth opportunities across automotive and transportation?
• Are your teams prepared to leverage micro- and nano-manufacturing, lasers, and printing techniques to capture commercial value?
