A major market trends in cars Rising Introduction of Smart Doors for Autonomous Vehicles – A Major Market Trend
Intelligent door systems have become imperative in autonomous vehicles, allowing more comfort and adapting easily to different requirements. The rising penetration of automated driving is creating a vast demand for intelligent systems enabling automatic mechanisms of doors.
Over recent years, the usage of new generation technologies in designing Automotive Intelligent door systems market has been growing enormously. These technologies enhance the security of vehicles and persons sitting in them. Intelligent door systems are designed considering low cost & power requirements, components’ availability, and low distance, so there is no interference.
Most intelligent door systems focus on designing and realizing a novel, camera-based anti-trap protection system for smart car doors. A single Omni-directional camera is integrated into each vehicle door to detect obstacles such as fingers, hands, or legs. Active contact between obstacles and sensors in the doors requires trapping detection.
Given that automotive comfort begins with boarding, technology enablers are taking a holistic view for the further development of their vehicle access product portfolio. Many ongoing types of research are proposing new prototypes and various methods for hardware design and software development.

Recent Developments in Automotive Intelligent Door Systems
Some key market players, such as Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH &Co. KG (Germany), Continental AG (Germany), SMARTRAC N.V. (Amsterdam), and HufHulsbeck&Furst GmbH &Co. Kg (Germany) have launched unique intelligent/smart door systems.
For instance, in 2019, Continental introduced an intelligent door brake system and smart autonomous door support system supporting convenient opening & closing operations and avoiding uncontrolled slamming. Continental’s intelligent door system also received a CES 2019 Innovation Award in the Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology category. The recognition of Continental’s intelligent door system and innovative prowess encourages it to further increase the comfort and safety of all road users.
Comfortable vehicle access Brose’s Efforts in Providing Comfortable Vehicle Access
On Sept. 07, 2021, Brose, a leading automotive supplier, showcased its new intelligent door system and control elements for door handles, providing comfortable vehicle access at the IAA Mobility 2021 event. Bose also demonstrated how its system intelligently connects all components in the door to create added value for OEMs and consumers.
The access module is the heart of Brose’s vehicle access system, offering flexible operation. Another product in Brose’s portfolio was a door presenter that can open the door wide enough, allowing vehicle users to conveniently grasp and pull it open completely. This further increases user comfort cost-effectively without needing a fully equipped side door drive with collision protection.
This powerful door presenter can also break open a locked frozen door. Its drive has a small form factor, allowing simple integration in the door at the ideal activation point. Autonomous shuttles play a causal role in urban mobility scenarios of the future. Brose has teamed up with Bode to engineer an access concept for people movers.
The company is also working on developing barrier-free access solutions and plans to introduce a concept for safe, comfortable standing and reclining in autonomous driving scenarios. Other features that Borse’s solutions offer are operating interfaces, obstacle detection & technology for fully automatic opening & closing of vehicle doors.
The approach eliminates the otherwise standard use of a rotating column in the interior, which leaves more room for passengers and cargo. Thus, Brose has opened up completely new dimensions of comfort with its side doors & liftgate drives that open and close automatically.

Control Solutions Innovative PDS for Military
Control Solutions LLC. has developed an innovative door assist system - The Powered Door System (PDS), to respond to the US military requirements. The new PDS provides a turnkey solution for safely & quickly opening and closing the heavily armored doors on the Mine-Resistant Ambush (MRAP) vehicles. The US military uses V-shaped hull MRAPs to respond to the threat of roadside bombs (IEDs).
The rapid adoption of the MRAP vehicles into the Army’s inventory has created a vast demand for Control Solutions’ PDSs to ease operations of each armored door weighing over 1,000 lb during combat operations. The PDS is the only electro-hydraulic system that has the ability to open the heaviest vehicle doors on steep uphill or downhill slopes.
This feature-rich door assist system provides users with the ability to operate the doors even when the truck power system is inoperable, provides emergency egress, limits unauthorized access, and features programmable stop locations, such as intelligent battery charging, fail-safe activation, and a host of other features that enhance the operation, efficiency, and safety of the passengers.
Key Industry Trends Boosting the Automotive Intelligent Door System Market Value
The market is predominantly driven by a wide range of intelligent door systems benefits, such as high-class convenience of autonomous opening and closing, greater safety by intelligent obstacle detection and collision prevention, optimal protection by intelligent door brake system avoiding slamming shut, contactless door opening without handle feasible, and more.
Also, the increasing demand for intelligent door systems to incorporate functions, such as door actuation (open/close), user force assistance, inclination compensation, door end damping & slam protection, infinite door checker, guidance to run functions, adjustable speed & door haptic profile, and anti-pinch for opening and closing substantiates market revenues.
The global automotive industry is undergoing rapid transformations with the emergence of autonomous vehicles and driver assistance systems. Car owners and auto manufacturers have become increasingly aware of convenience features and safety issues. The growing production of luxury cars and passenger vehicles escalates the market demand for intelligent door systems to further heights.
The power door control is an important component of a fully smart autonomous door system. The increasing absorption of power door lock control solutions in electric vehicles (EVs) creates enormous market demand. Besides, the market penetration of automated vehicles is the highest driving factor for increasing the automotive intelligent door system market value.
Technological innovations are increasing continually, further boosting the market size, bringing down the cost, and enhancing the efficiency & convenience of smart door systems. The automotive intelligent door system market is forecasted to garner significant traction in the years to come. It is also estimated that by 2028, around 5.2 MN units of automotive intelligent door systems will be produced with a 14.9 % CAGR.
