As we all know, in the automatic driving technology, there are currently two schemes, one is tesla adheres to the camera scheme, that is, the visual direction, Tesla believes that the bionic technology similar to the human eye is the future.
The other is the lidar scheme, which is currently used by Huawei, as well as many domestic cars, such as Huawei's Q&A M5, Xiaopeng, Weilai, etc., all of which are dead lidar.
So the question is, why huawei, domestic cars, to die lidar, do not engage in Tesla's insistence on the camera program?
Many netizens said that this is because lidar is better than the visual solution, after all, the camera, in the fog, rain, snow, and dark light conditions, the camera is "not clear", "not far away", so it will have an impact.
Lidar is different, whether the light is dark or bright, it will not be affected, far better than the camera solution.
Of course, whether the camera scheme is better, or the lidar is better, this is not easy to say, after all, the two schemes have not yet reached the realm of one kind of crushing the other, and now it is a mouth cannon, and the mouth is only winning or losing.
I think the reason why Huawei and domestic cars do not use Tesla's visual solution, the most fundamental reason is that the visual program, Tesla is the ceiling, other manufacturers if they use this scheme, it is likely that they will not be able to catch up with Tesla, so everyone only has to change the track, so that they have the opportunity to catch up with or even surpass Tesla.
The core of the vision program is not in the camera, but in the algorithm, Tesla has accumulated for many years in the algorithm, and the strength is strong, and even created the world's top supercomputer, all of which serve the visual algorithm. Domestic manufacturers, want to catch up with Tesla in the algorithm in a short period of time, it is basically unlikely.
The core of lidar is in lidar, not in the algorithm, more importantly, lidar currently has manufacturers to provide complete sets of solutions, hardware + algorithms are all available, car companies as long as they load the car can be used, which is also in line with everyone's strength and actual needs, do not need to develop too much.
So this is actually the biggest reason for domestic cars, dead lidar, because they don't need too much research and development, they have ready-made technology available, there are gimmicks when they use it, and they avoid competing with Tesla on the same track, why not enjoy it?
