LiDAR

Nio's chip team is developing high-level self-driving chips and LiDAR chips, with self-driving chips likely to start being used in production vehicles as early as around 2024, according to local media.

Hesai is also building a new $200 million factory with a planned annual capacity of more than 1 million units, which is expected to be operational by 2023.

Over the past two years, Innovusion and Nio have worked closely together to optimize the entire high-performance LiDAR supply chain, the LiDAR maker said.

In a joint project between the two, Innovusion's Falcon ultra-long-range LiDAR will serve as the primary vision radar on TuSimple's heavy truck models.

Unlike other automakers currently using one autonomous driving solution, Jidu is developing two separate systems, pure vision and LiDAR, that serve as backups for each other.

In addition to general obstacle recognition, the ET7's LiDAR has an ROI function that enables detection of objects that are difficult for cameras to recognize.

Nio today released a video that explains the performance of ET7's LiDAR, which it developed in collaboration with Innovusion.

Li Auto L9's smart driving computing platform includes two Nvidia Orin-X processors with a total computing power of 508 Tops.

Xpeng has started to push the latest version of Xmart OS 3.1.0 to all P5 vehicles, bringing VPA-L, the first LiDAR-enabled feature that allows memory parking across floors.

Xpeng is Zvision's sixth-largest shareholder with a 5.77356 percent stake. Baidu is the ninth-largest shareholder with a 5.00001 percent stake.
