the T10 ICV CTO Summit hosted by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers was held in Shanghai. Duan Zhongyi, general manager of Huawei’s Converged Perception Products Department, attended and delivered a speech. At the same time, Huawei officially released automotive-grade high-performance lidar products and solutions.
It is worth mentioning that ARCFOX has just announced that Polar Fox HBT will be equipped with 3 Huawei 96-line medium and long-range lidars, 6-millimeter wave radars, 12 cameras, 13 ultrasonic radars, and Huawei chips with 352 Tops of computing power.
According to the official introduction of Huawei’s smart car solution, compared to millimeter-wave radar and cameras, lidar has certain advantages in target contour measurement, angle measurement, light stability, and general obstacle detection. In some difficult scenarios, such as non-standard pedestrians, non-standard roads, and even non-standard driving behavior in urban areas, Lidar is urgently needed to solve.
Huawei’s lidar products began pre-research in 2016 and mass production will be successful in 2020. The positioning of Huawei’s lidar products is pre-installation mass production and product development for pre-installation mass production of passenger cars. Huawei has developed an intelligent cleaning system and an intelligent heating system for it.
In addition, by leveraging on the precision manufacturing capabilities and advanced technology equipment laboratory accumulated in the optical communications field, Huawei has completed the establishment of the first pilot production line of automotive-grade lidar, which will meet the demand for mass production of millions of units, according to the annual output of 100,000 sets / Line advancement to meet future mass production needs.
