In comparison, conventional lidar sensors use horizontal linear scanning methods that run the risk of blind spots, causing some objects in their FOV to remain undetected regardless of how long the scan lasts. LiDAR offers significant savings over ground survey methods. Using just five Horizon units enable full 360° coverage stand out when customers want to scale up their robo-taxi fleets to hundreds or thousands of cars orfor their future models with L3/L4 autonomous driving functions.Made for advanced long-distance detection, the Livox Tele-15 offers the compact size, high-precision, and durability while vastly extending the real-time mapping range.The Tele-15 can successfully detect an object up to 500 meters away, which is hardly achievable by human eyes or other sensors at this cost.Tele-15 and Horizon compared with traditional Multi-line “We’ve been testing and using a great number of lidar sensors available on the market and we are excited to find one that offers a good combination of performance, realibity and cost,” said Jianxiong Xiao also known as Professor X, the CEO and Founder .

Image fidelity increases rapidly over time. The innovative design of the sensor requires fewer high-cost components and with the use of its patented DL-Pack technology, Livox sensors are calibrated automatically, enabling better product yield while requiring fewer specialized technical labor hours. The unique non-repetitive scanning method of the Livox lidar sensors enables nearly 100% FOV coverage with longer integration time which does not exist in any market alternatives today at this cost.non-repetitive scanning patterns vs. a traditional mechanical linear scanning pattern.Horizon and Tele-15 are high-performance lidar sensors designed for L3/L4 autonomous driving applications.

and affordable to integrate into products and applications, Livox will transform innovations in L3/L4 autonomous driving, smart cities, mapping, mobile robotics and more. This makes Livox products more reliableEach sensor’s laser power meets the requirements for a Class 1 laser product to IEC 60825-1(2014) and is safe for human eyesIt is also through its novel optoelectronic design that Livox is able to provide a comparable solution at a fraction of the price of current market alternatives.
In fact, we are about to scale the fleet up with Mid-40s which is why I am happy to see Livox continuously contributing to the industry by offering more affordable but high-performance lidar sensors to start-ups like usLivox Horizon retails for $999 USD, and Tele-15 will retail for $1,499.

industry has been hindered for too long by ultra-high costs and slow manufacturing rates,” said Henri Deng, Global Marketing Director at Livox.

By using a method of detecting distant objects such as leaves, shrubs, trees and even grass, LiDAR can determine their position, velocity, and other characteristics by analyzing pulsed laser light reflected from an object’s surface.

Both pictured solutions are from GreenValley's LiDAR is an active system that uses ultraviolet, near-infrared light to image objects requiring no external light for effective mapping. Through innovations by leading LiDAR manufacturers like LiDAR solution availability and size have improved significantly, and are now able to be mounted on smaller drones like the Matrice 210 (right, carrying Livox Mid-40). In the past, companies would need to use a separate personalized system for each application. As seen in the image below, a sensor generates a unique flower-like scanning pattern to create a 3D image of the surrounding environment.
Dirt movers are paid by the yard and costs will add up if calculations are inaccurate. Livox sensors are available for purchase through the DJI online store at The Livox Horizon and Tele-15 sensors can also be purchased at EXW pricing of $800 USD and $1,200 USD, accordingly, to learn more about its innovative solutions and witnessInternational companies who are already deploying Livox Technology AutoX focusing on Robo-Taxis, CiDi focusing on autonomous trucking, Refraction and Green Valley focusing on aerial, terrestrial, and mobile laser scanning technologies.
