If the rabbit is conscious, it will definitely bite and cry the person who invented the story of "Waiting for the Rabbit".
This is the biggest "wind critic murder" incident in the history of rabbits.
Ever since the first farmer to witness a rabbit hitting a tree and fainting at the scene of the social death, the rabbit has been forever nailed to the column of shame of "bad eyes, a little dull, nothing to love full of throttle hitting the pillar".
In fact, the rabbit's eyes are very good, the left and right eyes can add up to achieve a 360-degree visual perception of the whole rabbit, and it is very far away, and the eagle in the sky can accurately identify the air raid.
In addition, because the rabbit has been at the bottom of the food chain for a long time, it has exercised a windy position, not only is it "moving like a rabbit", the rabbit is responsive, and the escape speed is very fast, even faster than the horse.
If it is not small and the weight is not very good, then the ancient cavalry may not ride a horse, it must be a rabbit.
In terms of autopilot, which is easier for everyone to understand, the rabbit is a RoboRabbit with 360 ° panoramic perception, ultra-long viewing distance, effective handling of most edge scenes, planning and control to achieve millisecond response, strong perception, and low latency.
Wait, if the rabbit is so strong, why would it hit the pillar?
The answer is the blind spot of vision. Rabbit I, despite the ultra-long-range perception ability of aiming at the sky and the ground, finally lost on a small blind spot in the field of vision at a close distance in front of him.
Taking history as a mirror, the tragic experience of the rabbit has inspired countless autonomous driving practitioners to carry out arduous blindness repair work in cars. This includes the recent blindness patch radar launched by Liangdao Technology.
Don't let Robocar become RoboRabbit
At this stage, the semi-solid-state lidar program launched by most mainstream manufacturers has very good parameters, often 120 ° horizontal FOV, the farthest detection distance under 10% reflectivity is more than 150m.
With the addition of lidar, smart cars are beginning to move towards high-level intelligent driving capabilities. However, if a car wants to achieve all-round lidar point cloud coverage, it is very difficult at this stage.
Everyone's products are to do the perception of the C bit, used to make up for blindness some chickens with cattle knives, rabbits know to save costs, and have not evolved an eye on the brain gate.
It's like you play poker and you have 3 K's and 3 A's in your hand, and there's no way to get 3 with 1! How to fight is a waste.
Liangdao Intelligence's newly released lidar LDSense Satellite is to fill this 1 vacancy.
LDSense Satellite is designed for blindness, so it should be characterized by a larger vertical field of view (currently mainstream lidar in order to detect a longer distance, vertical FOV is around 25°), smaller size (the space left for blindness will be smaller than the main radar), higher reliability (the working environment will be worse than the main radar), and the cost is more controllable.
The detection distance index required by the main lidar is not so important for the blinding lidar.
The Flash solution has always been recognized as the best solution for business blindness, because it is just good at opening the field of view angle, rather than long-distance detection. In addition, Liangdao's scheme also uses Apple's same model, the VCSEL laser transmission scheme with more advantages in size, and the SPAD receiver chip.
This set of route choices many domestic lidar manufacturers are also exploring, this time let Liangdao intelligence to "rush to run".
What experience improvement can be brought about after filling the blindness?
At this stage, the models equipped with lidar have large or small blind spots, even if the salon, Lotus, such as the gold lords who are not bad money, install a horizontal 120 ° angle of view lidar on the front and back and left and right, and there is still a blind spot in the near field.
There are blind spots in the near field, and the most dangerous scene is to encounter some low obstacles, especially children or small animals in front of the car, which is very common in urban road environments.
If the close-range laser point cloud information is completed, the prevention of accidents such as accidentally crushing children will be greatly improved.
In addition, due to cost reasons, many models are equipped with a lidar overhead, which can only achieve 120 ° coverage in front of the field of view. If there is a blind spot lidar behind the side front, it can achieve 270 ° perception in front of the front at a low cost, and the improvement of assisted driving will also be obvious.
In particular, the common sudden congestion at close range can detect the intention of the congestion vehicle in advance, and can make more timely prevention and response, which will be safer for intelligent driving.
In addition, if there is a perception of 270, it can allow vehicles to have more comprehensive information input when facing traffic games at complex intersections, and decisions can be more timely and accurate.
It can be seen that blind lidar will be a necessary hardware for a safe and reliable intelligent driving system, and we also look forward to seeing smart cars that truly realize 360 ° dead angle perception in the future!
