Robotaxi's technological advancement and hardware development

Technology is the key driving force behind the development of Robotaxi. In terms of software, industry leaders have already turned to end-to-end models to solve most autonomous driving tasks in 2024. In terms of hardware, perception sensors are the main components, including ultrasonic radar, millimeter-wave radar, and lidar. The performance of the hardware determines the upper limit of the software algorithm and also affects the cost of the entire vehicle. Thanks to the vigorous development of the domestic smart car industry, domestic Robotaxi players have a natural cost advantage in lidar.
