The challenge
According to the article, trucks are about 10% of motor vehicles but are involved in nearly half of fatal road accidents, and more than 30 million truck drivers face fatigue, speeding and overloading.
What was done
- Livox supplied its LiDAR technology to support CiDi's autonomous trucking.
- The Horizon's horizontal field of view of 81.7° can cover several lanes at once.
- The Tele sensor detects objects at up to 500 m, which gives earlier warning of conditions ahead.
Results
- CiDi's chief executive says its L4 trucks can drive autonomously at 100 km/h on highways.
- Livox says the two sensors cost less than one-tenth of comparable LiDAR on the market.
- The article gives no deployment numbers or safety statistics.
Equipment
Livox Horizon and Livox Tele LiDAR. The Horizon is an earlier Livox model; for current long-range sensors see the Livox Tele-15 below. We supply and support Livox LiDAR in India.
