"Mr. Li, this design..."

Yang Tianming's eyes quickly fell on Li Changgeng, and he said with some confusion, "Very good?"

“Not very good,”

Li Changgeng shook his head.

"If it's not good, we can change it..."

Yang Tianming didn't think much about it. After all, smart electric vehicles are not very popular in China. Even if the design drawing given by Lin Chu is not good enough, they still have a professional team to make modifications.

“It was very good!”

Li Changgeng spoke excitedly.

"Although this design drawing is just a cursory look, I can tell that it is definitely a self-driving car that is comparable to Tesla."

You know, autonomous driving technology has always been the core technology that Tesla is most proud of. The reason why Tesla can be at the forefront in the field of new energy vehicles has a lot to do with this core technology.

Although other automobile companies, such as BMW, Future, etc., are also stepping up their research on autonomous driving technology, there is still a certain gap between them and Tesla in this aspect.

"But Chairman, if we use vehicle-mounted lidar, will the cost be too high?" Li Changgeng pointed to one of the designs and expressed some confusion.

"As far as I know, even Tesla does not use on-board lidar. Instead, it uses a professional trinocular camera developed by their president Master."

Sun Peng, who was walking by, couldn't help but make a sound.

"Although the camera we use may not be comparable to Tesla's trinocular camera in terms of cost, in terms of practicality, it is definitely better than their trinocular camera."

The reason why Tesla's trinocular camera is famous is not because of the advanced technology used in it, but because of the low production cost of this camera.

Some of the autonomous driving vehicles of other automobile companies use vehicle-mounted lidar, and the cost is basically more than two thousand US dollars.

The trinocular camera used by Tesla costs only US$300.

And between three hundred and two thousand, the profit can be imagined, and two thousand, is this the minimum price?

Although compared to the safer and more reliable lidar, the trinocular camera is not as good as it is, but it can definitely play its role, and it is more than one or two points cheaper.

"But lidar is safer and more reliable, isn't it? Tesla is Tesla, can we do the same thing just because Tesla is inferior?" Lin Chu's eyes fell on Sun Peng's

On the body.

"Shouldn't what we pursue be better?"

"this……"

Faced with Lin Chu's question, Sun Peng couldn't help but be stunned. In fact, although Huaijiang has indeed been innovative to a certain extent, to a large extent, Huaijiang has been imitating BMW, especially

Silla is just studying the technology that others have already developed.

If you continue like this, you may really be able to make money, but it is basically impossible to truly have enough influence in the industry.

"But if the cost is too high and we want to compete with Tesla..." Li Changgeng frowned.

What is the current market competition for?

The first is quality, and the second is price.

Why do people like to buy apples at such a high price? We have to admit that quality is a very important factor.

And what about Pinxixi? Basically, everyone who uses it knows that many of the things in it are of poor quality, but their prices are low, so they directly occupy a huge market.

If the quality is similar to others, but the price is higher than others, how many people are willing to buy it? Unless they have a special liking for this brand.

There is no doubt that the competitiveness between Huaijiang and Tesla is somewhat disproportionate.

"Then what if I say that the cost of our lidar is very low?" Lin Chu glanced at Li Changgeng and said to himself.

"We also have mature vehicle-mounted lidar technology, and the cost is basically around 15,000 RMB. Even if there is a slight breakthrough, the price should be more than 10,000 RMB..."

Li Changgeng thought for a while and then spoke.

In this regard, he still has a lot of say. Huaijiang also has a lot of research on vehicle-mounted lidar.

Even if the lowest quality materials are used and some functions are deducted, the cost of the vehicle-mounted lidar is still over 10,000 RMB, and if that is the case, the effect may not even be as good as Tesla's trinocular camera.

"The manufacturing cost of my vehicle-mounted lidar should be less than 2,000."

Lin Chu waved his hand.

"It's less than two thousand dollars, and it's the same price as three hundred dollars..."

"I said RMB." Lin Chu shook his head.

"You...what did you say?"

Li Changgeng's voice stopped suddenly, and then he looked at Lin Chu in disbelief.

There is a world of difference between the price of two thousand RMB and the price of two thousand US dollars. Two thousand US dollars is equivalent to thirteen thousand RMB!

And two thousand RMB means that the cost of this vehicle-mounted lidar is even more than six hundred yuan cheaper than the cost of the trinocular camera that Tesla is proud of!

"I said, the cost of this vehicle-mounted lidar is within two thousand yuan." Lin Chu said with a smile.

"impossible,"

Li Changgeng shook his head, "The cost of vehicle-mounted lidar is there. Even if there are some breakthroughs in technology, the cost will not drop like this."

Yang Tianming on the side also had a look of disbelief. Anyone in the industry would know clearly whether vehicle-mounted lidar or cameras are good or bad, and the price is also very clear.

Tesla's ability to lower the price of the trinocular camera to about three hundred dollars is already a big breakthrough.

Is it possible that the price of this car radar is cheaper than that of a camera?

The technical content of this is completely two concepts.

"That is, if it is two thousand dollars, I still believe it."

Yang Tianming also said from the side, "Chairman, vehicle lidar is one of the key technologies for autonomous driving. The prerequisite for autonomous driving is the accuracy and reliability of detection. If this cannot be guaranteed, then even if

No matter how reliable other aspects are, there will still be a lot of risks..."

Although it is said that the cheaper something is, the easier it is for people to buy it, but if it is too cheap, it will make people think about it.

"If there are too many castrated functions, then the function of this lidar may be similar to that of a trinocular camera..."

Sun Peng glanced at Lin Chu cautiously, and then spoke.

In fact, in his mind, a lidar manufactured with 2,000 RMB may not even be able to compare with a trinocular camera.

"Is it possible? How about making a sample and taking a look?" Lin Chu glanced at Sun Peng and said with a smile.

"This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Yes, yes, let's make a sample to see."

Li Changgeng patted his head. Because the cost given by Lin Chu was so scary, he almost forgot that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
