Livox partners with Xpeng to supply automotive-grade lidar for mass-produced models starting in 2021

Livox announced an official partnership with Xpeng, becoming Xpeng's first lidar partner. It will supply automotive-grade lidar for new models mass-produced from 2021, paired with Xpeng's XPILOT autonomous driving system. The customized Horiz increases detection range at 10% reflectivity from 90m on the publicly available sample version of Horiz to 150m, expands the horizontal field of view from 81° to 120°, and raises ROI point cloud density to the equivalent of 144 lines within 0.1 seconds, all without adding laser emitters.
