Li Bin: the cost of research and development of "Yang Yan" chip will be recovered after a year, and more main chips will be released in the future.

CTOnews.com September 21 news, today in Lulai Innovation and Technology Day, CEO Li Bin announced that Wei from the research of the first chip product-lidar master chip "Yang Yan" has begun mass production, the product has a high degree of integration, low energy consumption, strong performance and other features, can provide better support for complex scenes. Li Bin said that his purpose of making the chip is "gross profit" and hopes to exchange recent R & D investment for long-term gross profit. This chip can save hundreds of yuan for Wei.

As far as CTOnews.com knows, the "Yang Yan" chip is the first self-developed chip released by the Weilai intelligent hardware team, with an 8-core 64-bit processor, which provides strong computing support, and with an 8-channel 9bit ADC, the sampling rate is as high as 1GHz, which can efficiently capture the raw data of the lidar sensor and reduce the power consumption of the lidar by 50%.

Referring to the self-research chip plan, Li Bin said that "Yang Yan" can reduce the cost of Weilai bicycle lidar by hundreds of yuan and recover the cost of research and development in about a year, according to the Financial Associated Press. Li Bin also said that this chip is a small test of the product, and did not use too much energy of the chip team. The main chip will be developed later and will be released at the right time.
