Parts giants are scrambling to lay out voice coil motors for Lidar

     Parts giants are scrambling to lay out voice coil motors for Lidar. Autonomous Driving is twenty-one of the hottest topics of the century, and Lidar is indispensable for autonomous driving, a series of parts giants, including Bosch, continental and Valeo, are all strengthening their technology reserves. 

     In 2014, the company announced that it was developing a new sensor; in September 2018, it invested in Abax Sensing to support lidar development; and in January 2020, it announced that it was developing a new sensor, the long-range Lidar Sensor for the gauge has entered the stage of mass-production development. Not to be outdone, continental in 2014 developed a lidar for low-speed urban roads, and in August 2015 developed a new sensor module that integrates a multi-purpose camera and Lidar; In November 2019 it was revealed that a new vehicle class solid state LIDAR, the HFL110, had been developed. In December 2010, Valeo teamed up with IBEO, a German Lidar Company, to develop lidar products; in November 2017, the company officially launched its car gauge Lidar, Scala; and in July 2019, a total of 500 million euros worth of LIDAR ORDERS. 

     When it comes to Lidar, it has a lot to do with voice coil motors. The laser radar can obtain the distance information of the distant object by measuring the flight time of the laser beam and receiving the light beam reflected from the distant object. However, laser beams are very narrow and they do not scatter, so a single lidar pulse can only sense a very small object. For practical use, lidar sensors have to undergo some form of "scanning" . Most Lidar sensors are connected to a drive motor that spins them, and once the laser is synchronized with the motor's motion, we can tell where the laser is pointing and combine the whole image of the environment ahead. Therefore, the field of view of a lidar depends on the angle at which the motor is rotated.
