the Velarray H800, for high-speed operation, or function as a standalone LiDAR system in low-speed applications.


LiDAR for high performance EV \\\ Velodyne has already found an application for


its slimmed down LiDAR products in a deal an- nounced this spring with American EV super- car manufacturer, Faraday Future (FF). Velodyne’s solid state Velarray H800 LiDAR


sensors will power FF’s flagship FF 91’s au- tonomous driving system that aims to deliver a comprehensive suite of highway, urban and parking autonomy features. The ultimate- intelligent, tech-luxury FF 91 promises to de- liver EV mobility combined with extreme tech- nology, ultimate user-experience and holistic technology. The FF 91 is planned for launch within the next 12 months following a suc- cessful venture capital financing deal. According to Carsten Breitfeld, CEO of Fara-


day Future, the company is embracing the lat- est technology, including Velodyne’s Velarray H800, to develop driver assist features that help to deliver new levels of safety, driver comfort and convenience. “The new sensor supports safe navigation and collision avoid- ance, incorporated in the current vehicle ar- chitecture in a way that allows the FF 91 to maintain its future-forward design,” he says. Anand Gopalan, CEO, Velodyne LiDAR, adds:


Solid-state sensing has reduced the size of


LiDAR equipment, making it more attractive for use in the design conscious automotive industry


its LiDAR-based perception software, to streamline AV projects and advance a broad spectrum of safety functions. The software translates Velabit’s high-quality point cloud data into perception outputs, including object classification and tracking, obstacle detec- tion, scene segmentation and object velocity, that can be readily used by vehicle systems. When combined with vehicle data, Vella pro- vides time and distance to collision measure- ments, enabling safer vehicle response. The sensor can also be combined with other Velodyne LiDAR technologies, such as

“Velodyne and Faraday Future are both com- mitted to redefining the mobility experience through greater vehicle autonomy and safety. Velodyne and Faraday Future tech teams have maintained great synergy for many years. Our close relationship led Velo- dyne to become a direct supplier to Faraday Future and help them bring their next-gen- eration mobility vision to reality on roadways worldwide.” The Velarray H800 is a solid-state LiDAR sensor made for automotive grade perfor- mance and built using Velodyne’s break- through proprietary micro-LiDAR array architecture (MLA), similar to the Velabit. The sensor’s compact, embeddable form factor allows for the sensor to be seamlessly situ- ated behind the vehicle’s windshield for streamlined, flawless integration. With com- bined long-range perception and a broad FoV, the Velarray H800 is designed for safe navi- gation and collision avoidance in ADAS and autonomous mobility applications. With the use of solid-state LiDAR technol- ogy in the FF 91, the way is now paved for similar applications where aesthetics con- scious vehicle designers do not have to worry about sensors spoiling the vehicle’s appear- ance but can still gain the benefits provided by the technology.
