🔧 Teardown, assembly, and cost analysis – Huawei 192-line LiDAR for Luxeed S7 & Aito M9 We recently analyzed Huawei's 192-line LiDAR, integrated into the Luxeed S7 and Aito M9 #vehicles. Huawei, a relatively new player in the #automotive sector, is showing its determination to break through where others, like Apple, have stepped back. Huawei has developed advanced systems like LiDAR, which raises the question of how they've navigated the constraints on sourcing critical components. Our goal was to understand Huawei's approach and estimate the total manufacturing cost of this sophisticated system. Upon analysis, we found that Huawei still relies on several American components with relatively few Chinese components involved. What’s particularly groundbreaking is the use of a SPAD sensor in an automotive #LiDAR for the first time. The sensor utilizes SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) depth sensing technology, marking a noteworthy development in the LiDAR space. 👉 Stay tuned with us https://lnkd.in/eU7SiQwq
