Product Management For Autonomous Cars
summary
Autonomous driving targets a roughly $2 trillion market with an aftermarket near $650–700B; typical cars contain about 40,000 parts, so supply chains and OEM/tier‑1 relationships matter. Expect LiDAR prices quoted between $3,000 and $2,000 and high‑res 64‑beam units to remain premium. Adoption follows levels: geofenced Level‑4 fleets reach viability before Level‑5 general use; business splits into deep‑pocket fleet operators vs consumer upgrades, with charging networks, regulation and public trust dictating product and go‑to‑market choices.
