The Chinese company WM Motor presented the concept of the M7 electric sedan. As reported by Electreck, the car will receive three lidars with a total viewing angle of 330 degrees and almost 30 more sensors. The M7 will have a significant range for an electric vehicle — 700 kilometers.

Lidars are a key sensor for self-driving cars. They send laser beams and measure the time it takes for the light reflected from objects to reach the receiver. This allows you to accurately determine the distance to objects or even build a relief map of space.

A set of lidar, radar and other sensors can exceed the cost of the car itself, and some developers are creating unmanned vehicles without lidars - largely due to the development of computer vision algorithms . For example, Tesla has only radars and cameras (however, the cars themselves cannot be called drones), and this year the company announced that it would abandon even radars and use only cameras for navigation.

On October 22, the Chinese company WM Motor presented the concept of the M7 electric sedan. The car received three lidars with a total viewing angle of 330 degrees, five radars emitting millimeter waves, 12 ultrasonic sensors, seven cameras with a resolution of eight megapixels, four panoramic cameras and a high-precision positioning module.

Four NVIDIA DRIVE Orin-X chips will process data from all these sensors. The computational capability of each of them is 254 trillion operations per second. In addition to all kinds of sensors, the M7 is notable for its range, which exceeds 700 kilometers. Mass production and deliveries of the car are planned for 2022.

Earlier we wrote about the Lucid Motors electric sedan with cameras, radars and a front lidar that can travel up to 832 kilometers on a single charge.
