Chinese electric car company Nio's flagship sedan ET7, released earlier in the year, is equipped with a number of advanced technologies, LiDAR being one of them. At a recent event, Innovusion, the supplier of that LiDAR, provided more details about it.

Innovusion's LiDAR, developed in collaboration with Nio, will be a "high-performance product" with a 120-degree ultra-wide viewing angle and ultra-high resolution that can detect up to 500 meters, company co-founder and CEO Bao Junwei said at the recent China Auto Bluebook Forum.

LiDAR for production vehicles is not for show, it is a high-performance product that responds to the needs of L3 and L4 autonomous driving, and is a reliable complement to L2 autonomous driving, he said.

"LiDAR, in conjunction with other sensors, ensures the safety and reliability of autonomous driving," he said.
