Benenewake's world's first 256-line automotive lidar production line is about to be put into production
Recently, Benewake Technology announced that the world's first 256-line automotive lidar production line will be put into production. This important news has attracted wide attention from the industry and investors. As a leading lidar solution provider, Benenewake's move marks the further enhancement of their technical strength and market influence in the field of autonomous driving.
Lidar is one of the most critical sensing devices in autonomous driving technology. It senses the position, shape, and movement of other objects in the vehicle's surroundings by emitting a laser beam, receiving its reflected signal, and returning signals. The high accuracy and high reliability of LiDAR make it one of the irreplaceable technologies for autonomous driving.
The initiative to put into production a 256-line automotive lidar production line will further accelerate the development of autonomous driving technology. According to Benenewke, they plan to deliver the first batch of 256-line automotive-grade LiDAR to partners in the near future and launch mass production in 2024. This will inject new impetus into the development of the field of autonomous driving and accelerate the commercialization of autonomous driving technology.
Benewake has strong technical strength and rich market experience, and their lidar products have been adopted by many autonomous vehicle companies and have received good market feedback. The production of the 256-line automotive lidar production line will further enhance the competitiveness of Benewake in the field of lidar. At the same time, Benewake also plans to further upgrade the line level of lidar in the next few years to meet the growing market demand.
Dr. Li Yuan, CEO of Benenewa, said that the 256-line automotive lidar production line is a highly automated production line controlled by digitalization, which can realize the automated production of up to more than 100 core processes of lidar to meet the mass production needs of multiple types of high-precision lidar, with a total annual production capacity of more than 300,000 units.
Industry experts believe that Benenewke's initiative to put into production a 256-line vehicle-grade lidar production line is of great significance to the development of autonomous driving technology. As a sensing device, lidar plays an irreplaceable key role in autonomous driving technology, and the introduction of high-line lidar will further improve the perception ability of autonomous driving and lay a solid foundation for the realization of higher-level autonomous driving functions.
In addition, the commissioning of Benewake will also promote the development of related industrial chains. The demand for key components such as lasers, photodetectors, and signal processing chips for high-line lidar will also increase, which will drive the development and innovation of related industries and promote the formation of the entire autonomous driving industry ecosystem.
