Historically, half of all intelligent driving accidents can be attributed to drivers' excessive reliance on the system, while the other half are rooted in pure vision-based solutions. Lidar, often considered a supplementary safety measure, incurs additional costs. Initially, domestic intelligent driving manufacturers opted for a fusion approach combining vision and lidar. However, since 2024, most automakers have transitioned to pure vision solutions to cut costs and facilitate the widespread adoption of intelligent driving technology. While high-end intelligent driving models still incorporate lidar, the basic versions typically do not. Companies like Xiaomi, NIO, Huawei, and BYD follow this practice. The specific vehicle version involved in the Xiaomi SU7 car accident utilizes a pure vision solution and does not feature lidar.
