(July.11, 2022 Shenzhen) As a global leading LiDAR manufacturer, Livox today officially announces that its first automotive-grade LiDAR, Livox HAP, is now open for public orders.
Livox has always been committed to developing high-performance 3D LiDARs for mass production. Ever since adopting LiDAR technology, Xpeng P5 has been able to bring a brand-new driving experience including CNGP function to its users, thanks to the HAP embedded in the vehicle. While devoting itself to the market of smart driving, Livox continues to fulfill its mission of promoting the widespread adoption of LiDAR in many more industries and helping developers to achieve 3D sensing solutions with greater efficiency and lower cost, to spur constant industry growth in the area of spatial intelligence.
Background of the birth of HAP
In the era of electric, intelligent and connected automobiles, smart cars equipped with advanced driving assistance functions have emerged, and are winning the favor of more consumers. As a 3D sensor, LiDAR has the features of long-range detection, excellent resolution, little influence from ambient light, and direct acquisition of object distance information, which can significantly improve the reliability and user experience of the intelligent driving system. However, due to its high cost, difficulty in mass production, and unsatisfactory product reliability, LiDAR has not been massively applied to the automotive market. But with the cooperation between Livox and Xpeng on its new P5 model, a breakthrough has been achieved.
Heavy investment only for automotive-grade LiDAR
To overcome the three bottlenecks in the LiDAR industry: high price, low production scalability and poor reliability, and ensure that HAP can meet automotive-grade reliability requirements, Livox has established a test center that can undertake over 70 automotive-grade testing items, and has introduced state-of-the-art testing equipment. Supported by a team of leading industry experts, the test center provides Livox with impressive and efficient testing capabilities, which greatly speed up the product development and iteration in the DV stage.
The HAP has passed over 70 items of automotive-grade reliability test, such as EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility), mechanical engineering, environmental reliability, to enable it to meet major car makers’ standards and other industrial standards, such as ISO 16750.
Mass production is the mission
In order to comprehensively improve HAP’s mass production efficiency and control its production process, and ensure consistent product quality, Livox has decided to build a new intelligent manufacturing center, and introduced fully automated LiDAR assembly lines. Through the patent multi-laser transmitter and receiver module integration and packaging technology (DL-Pack), Livox has greatly improved the efficiency of bottlenecks in traditional LiDAR production, such as the focusing process. By increasing the UPH (units per hour) to 40 pieces/hour, each of the HAP production lines boasts an annual capacity of up to 200,000 pieces. In addition to the highly automated LiDAR assembly lines, the intelligent manufacturing center is also equipped with several world-class SMT (Surface Mount Technologies) production lines with the designed PPM (Parts Per Million) at 10 to meet Livox’s future expanding needs for the efficient production of its own core LiDAR components.
Thanks to the above efforts, HAP’s manufacturing capacity has been significantly ahead of the industry average, and it is at the forefront of mass production in the LiDAR industry, which fully guarantees the potential for mass production of LiDARs and their serial application in vehicles.
Consistent superior performanceThe detection range of HAP for objects with low reflectivity (at 10% reflectivity) can reach 150m. HAP features a horizontal FOV of 120°, an angular resolution of up to 0.18°*0.23°, and a point cloud density equivalent to 144 lines.
Suppported by HAP LiDAR, the traditional ADAS system will be more effective in dealing with scenarios such as HWP (High Way Pilot), close cut-in vehicles in urban traffic jam, night driving, adaptive cruise on curves, and Park-by-Memory, so that users can enjoy a better functional experience with ease and security.
Low Cost and Available Now
Livox officially announces that the ordering price for HAP sample is at only $1,599, continuously fulfilling its vision in bringing more competitive LiDAR technology to global developers and customers. from July 11th, global customers can directly order HAP through Livox website( https://www.livoxtech.com/hap), and Livox will start shipping by orders from August onwards.

(2022年7月11日，深圳) 全球领先的激光雷达研发及生产厂商Livox 览沃科技正式宣布公开发售其首款车规级激光雷达 — Livox 浩界HAP。
览沃科技自诞生之初便致力于高性能3D激光雷达的大规模量产，自使用激光雷达技术以来，搭载HAP的小鹏汽车P5已为众多车主提供了全新智驾体验，P5首发城市NGP功能也在HAP激光雷达加持下大放异彩。在深耕智能驾驶领域的同时，推动激光雷达应用普及，帮助所有空间感知开发者以更高效率、更低成本获得更优传感器解决方案，也是览沃科技一直在努力践行的使命。
HAP 诞生的背景
随着汽车“电动化、智能化、网联化”时代的到来，配备高级辅助驾驶功能的智能汽车应运而生，逐渐赢得了更多消费者的青睐。而激光雷达作为3D传感器具有测距远，分辨率优，受环境光影响小，可直接获取物体距离信息等特点，可显著提升辅助驾驶系统的可靠性和用户体验。但受限于成本高昂、量产困难以及产品可靠性等原因，激光雷达一直未能应用于前装量产汽车市场。然而，随着览沃与小鹏汽车在P5新车上的合作落地，这种局面已然获得突破。
倾情投入 只为车规
为攻克激光雷达界的“成本，量产，可靠性”三座大山，保证HAP能达到车规级可靠性要求，Livox建立了可承接70多项车规测试要求的检测中心，引进一批具备世界领技术的检测设备。检测中心由业内顶尖专业团队运营，充分满足自主高效的专业化测试需求，大大提高产品在DV阶段的开发迭代效率。
此次公开发售的HAP, 更是已通过电子EMC、机械、环境可靠性等70余项车规级可靠性测试要求，确保各项指标可满足ISO 16750等多项行标以及主流车企客户企标的严格要求。
面向量产 使命必达
为了全面提升HAP的量产效率并掌控其生产进程，确保产品质量的一致性，Livox决定自建全新的智能制造中心，引进全自动化激光雷达组装线。在自有专利封装技术DL-Pack的加持下，大幅提升对焦环节等传统激光雷达瓶颈工站生产节拍，在不显著增加产线投资成本的情况下，将单台工站UPH提升至40颗/小时，使得HAP单条产线年产能可达20万颗，确保Livox激光雷达核心组件的自主高效生产。
得力于上述投入，HAP的生产制造能力已大幅领先行业标准，走在了激光雷达行业批量化制造的尖端，为激光雷达前装量产上车进行表率。
强悍性能 保驾护航
HAP针对低反射率物体（@10%）的探测距离可达到150米，横向视场角可达120度，角分辨率高达0.18°*0.23°，点云密度等效于144线激光雷达。
有了HAP激光雷达的加持，传统ADAS辅助驾驶系统在应对基于目的地导航的高速辅助驾驶、城市堵塞场景下的近处加塞、夜间行车、弯道自适应巡航、记忆泊车等场景时将更加游刃有余，让用户安心感受到更好的功能体验。
极致性价比此刻拥有
览沃科技正式宣布HAP激光雷达样件采购价为￥7999元，继续践行为全球开发者提供真正高性能的激光雷达产品的初心。全球客户自2022年7月11日起可通过Livox官网（https://www.livoxtech.com/cn/hap）进行下单购买，订单也将自8月初开始陆续发货给已下单客户。
