This year, Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers are set to integrate advanced LiDAR-based driving systems in models priced from 60,000 yuan (approximately $7,500). According to the AI technology firm Robosense, this move marks a significant shift as LiDAR technology becomes more accessible, moving beyond the realm of premium features.
As competition grows, the introduction of intelligent driving capabilities in affordable EVs could reshape the automotive landscape, making advanced safety features available to a broader audience.
