Take the product as an example. The laser pointer radar of its 64 wire harness is about 10 times the price of the 16 wire harness. A 64-bit laser radar used by Baidu’s driverless car has a value of more than 700,000 yuan, which is very expensive, It is unbearable for enterprises, and self-driving cars equipped with this kind of lidar are not affordable for ordinary people. therefore,
The so-called solid-state lidar removes the mechanical rotating parts in the mechanical lidar and uses an electronic solution to achieve full-range detection. The traditional lidar uses mechanical rotation to achieve full-range detection, so the volume is usually large.
Another method is hybrid solid-state lidar, which lies between solid-state lidar and mechanical lidar. From the appearance, the hybrid solid-state green laser pointer radar can hardly see the rotating parts of traditional lidar, but in fact there are still some mechanical rotating parts inside, but this set of mechanical rotating parts is very small and hidden inside the fuselage.
