Huawei's Vice Chairman and Acting Chairman, Xu Zhijun, stated that there is still controversy over the necessity of lidar. While a pure vision camera solution may address some issues, according to Huawei's research, visual cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and lidar each have their pros and cons, and currently, there is no single sensor that can solve all problems.
Huawei believes that in terms of security, lidar brings significant benefits, especially in the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system, where its value surpasses that of other sensors.
Therefore, Huawei has proposed a fusion perception solution that integrates various sensors such as lidar, millimeter-wave radar, and cameras, which is more conducive to achieving the goals of autonomous driving.
Additionally, Huawei also aims to reduce the cost of lidar to $200 in the future to address cost concerns.
