I remember seeing a number of 15 million referring to passenger vehicles, but I don't recall the exact market definition.

Assuming an average of 6 cylinders and one sensor per cylinder that could get you to roughly a 100 mil. I would venture a guess that trucks would probably add several million more. I doubt one could get more than $100 per vehicle and probably $20-$30 is more likely unless the benefits were truly outstanding. Still for a company like Cree that would be attractive even if it wouldn't make them the size of Intel.

The latest price I saw referencing the LED's was 8 cents.
You would have to sell a lot more LED's to equate that level (of course the applications are more ubiquitous).

In one of the references I posted, the DARPA white paper stated that about half (if I remember correctly) of the electricity in the US drives motors. High powered devices for motors that reduce losses could also be a substantial market.

I think ample opportunities are present...Cree just has to execute properly and timely.
