The mechanical rotary green laser pointer radar that we are most familiar with, because mass production is difficult, it is a general trend that mechanical rotary laser radars are replaced by lower-cost hybrid solid-state lidar and solid-state lidar. Therefore, in this article we focus on mixed solids and pure solids. Hybrid solid-state lidar, a name coined by a company, that is “half mechanically rotating and half solid.”
Specifically, there are no visible rotating parts on the shape of the product, but there are actually some mechanical rotating parts inside, but this set of mechanical rotating parts is very compact and can be built in (the driving and detection components are fixed, but The scanning system is mechanically rotating). At present, the concept of “hybrid solid state” used in various reports is ambiguous. Although many manufacturers claim that their products are “hybrid solid state”, in fact, the technical solutions may be very different.
Lidar manufacturers have divided customers in the global lidar industry into “test pie” and “vehicle maker pie”, and he found that compared with test pie customers “less in volume, anxious” and insensitive to price, OEMs The demand for green laser pointers radars is “large volume, high standards, and low money.” A few hundred dollars is the upper limit they can accept.
