According to foreign media reports, velodyne lidar has launched its smallest sensor, velabit Gamma , making 3D lidar sensing more widely used and cheaper. Velabit utilizes velodyne's innovative lidar technology and manufacturing partnerships to optimize costs and enable mass production. (image source: velodyne lidar) this sensor has the same technology and performance as velodyne's most advanced sensors, and it helps to develop new applications in various fields. The sensor is compact, can be embedded in any position of vehicle, robot, UAV, infrastructure and other equipment, and is easy to mass production. Velodyne said velabit is an excellent ADAS and automotive lidar solution, with sensing range including blind spot monitoring, cross traffic detection, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and rider safety. This highly configurable mid-range sensor can meet different customer application requirements and can be combined with other velodyne lidar sensors, such as velarray Gamma For high-speed scenes, it can also be used as an independent lidar solution for low-speed scenes. Velabit reduces the cost of autonomous driving solutions, improves safety, solves design challenges, and provides powerful sensing performance. Velabit's main features include: Anand Gopalan, chief executive officer of velodyne lidar, said, "velabit will make lidar, with a compact appearance and a mass production price target of $100, making 3D lidar available for all safety critical applications. Velabit has advantages in performance, size and pricing, which can promote the rapid growth of lidar applications
