Recently, it has been reported that Xiaomi's first car has been identified as a laser radar supplier by Hesai technology, which is positioned as a car with a maximum price of more than 300000 yuan.
It is understood that the specific lidar configuration of Xiaomi's first model is based on one Hesai hybrid solid-state radar at128, and several Hesai all solid-state radars are used as blinding radars. Compared with hybrid solid-state radar, all solid-state lidar has larger viewing angle and smaller blind area, and is suitable for blind compensation.
Not long ago, Lei Jun publicly said that Xiaomi had invested 3.3 billion yuan in the first phase of R & D in the field of autonomous driving, established a top-level R & D team with a scale of more than 500 people, and promoted the medium and long-term industrial layout in the field of autonomous driving through wholly-owned mergers and acquisitions and industrial investment in upstream and downstream enterprises.
As the sensor with the highest accuracy at present, lidar can achieve an accuracy of 10 times that of millimeter wave radar, and has strong anti-jamming ability. It can accurately obtain external environmental information and conduct 3D modeling, and has irreplaceable advantages in high-level automatic driving with strict requirements on information accuracy.
The high-value functionality of lidar and the high demand brought by the active application of multiple fields in the market make the lidar market develop rapidly. According to data statistics and forecasts, the overall market of lidar will grow from 180 million US dollars in 2020 to 5.7 billion US dollars in 2026, with broad prospects in the future. Among them, the market growth of vehicle borne lidar is the fastest, which is expected to grow from US $26 million in 2020 to US $2.3 billion in 2026, showing a trend of explosive growth.
