1.1adas moves towards high-level intelligent driving and senses the fierce competition of equipment
Germany allows L3 on the road, and ADAS accelerates the development process to L3 +. The Mercedes Benz L3 automatic driving system has passed the German federal transportation administration. (KBA) approval of technical regulations is the first system in the world to obtain the certification of UN regulation No. 157. It is expected that the two carrying models of Mercedes Benz will be delivered in the first half of 2022, and the upgrading of ADAS to L3 + will be accelerated again. With the completion and issuance of relevant approval policies around the world, according to the industrial information network, the market penetration of L3 + is expected to reach nearly 40% in 2030.
The equipment competition is fierce, and the perceptual fusion scheme has become the mainstream. The on-board sensing hardware mainly includes camera, ultrasonic radar, millimeter wave radar and lidar, with great differences in detection distance, angle, resolution and function. Vehicle manufacturers other than Tesla choose multiple sensing fusion schemes to make up for the shortage of software before they do not form a “vehicle data algorithm” closed loop.
1.2 the first year of mass production of lidar has come, and the pre loading process is accelerated
Lidar has long detection distance, high resolution and can work all day, which can effectively make up for the perception defects of camera and millimeter ratio radar. Lidar detects the distance between the vehicle and the object by transmitting, reflecting and receiving the laser beam to form a point cloud map. Compared with visible light detection and millimeter wave detection, the inherent advantages of laser detection are high resolution, strong anti-interference ability and all-weather operation.
The first year of mass production of on-board lidar has come, and the carrying models sink from high-end to medium and low-end. As a major selling point for vehicle manufacturers to promote intelligent driving, lidar was mainly carried on high-end and flagship models in the early stage. As major vehicle manufacturers, especially Chinese independent brands and new forces, hope to overtake through intelligent corners, the loading process of lidar is accelerated, and it is carried on models at various prices such as Weilai et7, Xiaopeng G9, Weima M7 and Nezha s.
