On June 10th, Suteng Innovation announced its partnership with L4-level autonomous driving technology company, WeRide Zhixing, to help realize the on-board application of solid-state LiDAR and accelerate the front-loading production and commercialization of autonomous driving sensors.
Just two days ago, WeRide Zhixing released the new generation of the autonomous driving sensor suite – WeRide Sensor Suite 5.0, which is equipped with seven solid-state LiDARs. It seems that all seven LiDARs are from Suteng Innovation, with a model number of RS-LiDAR-M1.
This new generation perception architecture of SS 5.0 is responsible for WeRide Zhixing’s mass production of passenger cars and the subsequent commercialization. One of the most important factors is that the sensors should be able to integrate into mass-produced cars. This is also one of the important reasons why WeRide Zhixing chose M1, because M1 achieves high integration while maintaining performance.
In addition to WeRide Zhixing, XPeng G9, Lotte Eletre and other models also use the Suteng Innovation M1 LiDAR.
WeRide Zhixing has carried out research, testing and operations in more than 23 cities worldwide for autonomous driving, accumulating over 11 million kilometers of autonomous driving mileage, and can provide L2-L4 level autonomous driving products and solutions, covering commercial scenarios such as shared travel, smart transportation and smart sanitation.
