A surge in the number of autonomous vehicles can be witnessed in recent years. The need to increase drivers’ safety and ease their driving experience has resulted in an increased number of autonomous vehicles. These vehicles are integrated with multiple sensors and data processors, such as cameras, to perform driver-assisted features. Therefore, an increase in the number of autonomous vehicles ultimately drives the adoption of high precision asphere lens in the cameras used in those vehicles. The usage of fully autonomous vehicles allows the drivers to utilize their journey time in performing additional activities like working, accessing entertainment, and thereby increasing the drivers’ comfort. Also, using fully autonomous cars may solve the industry’s manpower shortage. For instance, according to American Trucking Associations, the U.S. fell short of 48,000 truck drivers in 2016, and this number can grow up to 170,000 in the next ten years. With the help of driverless trucks, this shortage of labor can be slowed. The addition of self-driven vehicle fleet may lead to innovative modes of traveling/transporting. Users may use cars based on pay-per-use models, including car-pooling, cab sharing, and peer-to-peer car rentals. These factors are expected to reduce vehicle owners’ efforts and will, therefore, contribute to the growth in the demand for autonomous vehicles. Thus, given the advantages of autonomous vehicles, an upward-facing trend is anticipated in the coming years that would certainly increase the demand and consumption of the aspherical lens as they provide improved accuracy of the focal point, greater focal length range, and sharper and clearer image formation.
