For the lidar industry, 2019 is undoubtedly a "little winter." In this year full of twists and turns, affected by multiple factors such as the Sino-US trade war, the continued cooling of the autonomous driving market, and the decline in the sales of the automotive market, the lidar industry has received less attention than before, and even the global lidar market " "Brother" Velodyne abolished rumors that the Beijing office was withdrawing from the Chinese market. However, the haze in 2019 is about to dissipate. In the face of the massive 5G and AIoT trends in 2020, and the rise of domestic lidar power, lidar is expected to go further towards low cost. Starting from the bottom-level empowerment, it will fully open " Getting on the bus. "

Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to say whether LiDAR is the core sensor necessary for intelligent cars. After all, judging from the current progress of the automotive intelligent market, the industry as a whole is still at the level of L2-L2.5. However, almost all of the commercial fleets of the L3 class have adopted lidar as a standard configuration of vehicle sensing systems. According to relevant forecast data, with the gradual landing of L3 + autonomous vehicles in the next few years, the lidar market will also usher in rapid development. By 2026, the market size of automotive lidar is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan. The final market value of applications in the scenario will even exceed this estimate.
