The global virtual car market has been expanding significantly and is anticipated to expand with overall market size worth 14,700 USD million, clocking at a CAGR of 47.1% during the forecasted period 2021-2028. In automotive facilities and dealer showrooms, the automobile industry has been experiencing virtual reality (VR)-led innovations. The need to automate retail processes is more pressing than ever. The advantages of VR in automotive industry include a holistic and immersive driving and riding experience. Additionally, showroom tours and test drives are further improved with an immersive VR experience. These are all aiding in consumer awareness and thereby strengthening growth possibilities in the global virtual car market.
Prototype design at OEM production facilities is achieved by employing VR simulation, which allows for smooth adjustments. VR may be used to develop virtual staff training programs, virtual car vehicle simulation testing, and collaborative design reviews, among other things. However, VR inside automobiles is still a very small market today. Because gaming-capable CPUs are required for integrating VR in automobiles, VR-based entertainment services will be integrated in luxury brands (such as Tesla and Audi) over the forecast period. Mass-scale adoption of features such as virtual car games based on VR is till afar.
Consumer preferences for and increasing awareness pertaining to virtual car games, virtual car rides and virtual driving are anticipated to unravel new growth opportunities in the global virtual car market in the coming years.
VR is widely utilized in automotive digital showrooms and car manufacturing operations to provide an interactive user experience and boost workforce efficiency. However, the virtual car is still a niche use case that will not be deployed until beyond the forecast period. Passengers in future ownership and user vehicles will employ VR for entertainment purposes such as virtual car driving, movie streaming, virtual car ride, media playback, virtual car games, virtual tours, and online concerts.
As car manufacturers are determined to align their services with consumer preferences, in-car experiences are being upgraded to include novel features such as on-demand digital cockpits to ensure unhindered convenience and comfort. Individual sound bubbles and separate infotainment displays for each passenger are envisaged in future linked automobiles.
VR will be crucial in enabling virtual entertainment alternatives and providing tailored experiences for travelers. 5G integration is likely to offset the challenges pertaining to high-speed network connections, sluggishness and lags in overall operations, computing inefficiencies pertaining to the virtual car space.
Through a series of virtual simulations, automakers will be able to accelerate the testing of virtual car vehicles. Instead of extensive road trial programs, VR simulations will ensure that AV safety testing may be done virtually at a low cost. As consumer buying capabilities take a fillip, the overall growth trajectory of the global virtual car market is also expected to witness reasonable amplification.

A virtual car (also known as an autonomous car or driverless car) is a system that is used to travel between locations without the assistance of a human operator by utilizing sensors, radar, cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI). A vehicle could be acknowledged as an autonomous one only when it meets the requisite parameters such as traversing automatically to a set location without having the components altered.
There is limited opportunity for development loops with more rigorous worldwide emissions laws and a rising number of vehicle variations. Indeed, given the complexity of contemporary vehicles, it is critical that we investigate the feasibility of concepts before building any hardware. It has never been more difficult to develop powertrain and vehicle solutions that fulfill quality, performance, economy, and emissions criteria within acceptable schedules and budgets. To address these issues, stakeholders have developed AVL VSMTM, a virtual car system that eliminates the risk of vehicle development.
AI technologies are at the heart of virtual car automobile systems. Engineers specializing in virtual cars designs bank upon humongous data streams acquired from image recognition systems, self driving automotive, ML based user data and extensive neural networking to obtain data patterns for subsequent utilization in the ML-based learning models.
Images from cameras on virtual cars are among the data sources from which the neural network learns to recognize traffic signals, curbs, trees, street signs, pedestrians, and other elements of any particular driving environment.
