In particular, entering the fourth quarter, the battlefield of the green laser pointer radar became one of the most intense and eye-catching “spot battlefields” in driverless warfare. Staged one after another. Lidar manufacturers have divided the customers of the global lidar industry into “test pie” and “vehicle maker pie”, and he found that compared with test pie customers, “less, anxious” and less price sensitive, OEMs are more The demand for lidar is “large volume, high standard, and low money”. A few hundred dollars is the upper limit they can accept.
Due to the limitations of these conditions, they often can only consider solid-state lidar (or hybrid solid-state) with a small size and lower cost. In order to meet the requirements of OEMs, participants in the lidar market have begun to develop lidars with better performance, smaller size and lower cost, and some of these companies have made initial progress and announced mass production. plan.
At present, what are the advantages and disadvantages of various low-cost green laser pointer radar technology routes, which is easier to achieve mass production? Who are the main players in the market and how are they progressing? In the future, what new trends will appear in the development of lidar? In this article, we do a simple combing based on the published information. Hybrid solid state and pure solid state According to the technical route, lidar can be divided into these three categories: mechanical rotation type; hybrid solid state; pure solid state.
