Recently, according to foreign media reports, Lidar company Quanergy Systems announced that it has established a cooperative relationship with Geely Automobile. Both parties will carry out in-depth research and development of sensor equipment to promote the implementation of smart city and autonomous vehicle commercialization solutions. In the future, Geely's Lotus brand models will also be equipped with Quanergy's S3 lidar products.
Geely and Quanergy jointly signify that both parties will conduct joint R & D on lidar. Whether for the construction of smart cities or the deployment of autonomous vehicles, lidar is a critical device. Quanergy quoted Geely executives as saying, "In the past few years, lidar companies have sprung up. Quanergy's expertise is no longer limited to self-driving cars. The cooperation between the two parties will help develop advanced lidar products. And launch comprehensive autonomous driving and smart city solutions. "
It is understood that before the release of this news, Quanergy had deployed a Lidar-based smart city solution at a crossroad in Hangzhou Bay New District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. This is also the first deployment of 5G-V2X smart infrastructure and smart vehicles with the support of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China. Geely's smart cars can receive data from roadside through 5G wireless communication networks.
Autonomous driving is the focus of Geely's future development. In 2019, Geely has jointly demonstrated 5G Edge-Cloud intelligent driving solutions with China Unicom and Huawei. From 2020, Geely plans to achieve L3 level autonomous driving on 350,000 kilometers of highways, 22,000 kilometers of urban elevated roads and 30 cities.
