The BYD Leopard 5 lidar model has reportedly been observed in spy shots. Notably, a lidar—likely a Huawei 192-line item—is situated on the roof, improving obstacle detection and distance maintenance.
The lidar-equipped Leopard 5 variant might use Huawei ADS 3.0, like the Leopard 8. This collaboration between the two companies aims to develop the world’s first off-road vehicle driving solution.
ADS 3.0 is Huawei’s third-generation autonomous driving solution, designed to provide humanlike but safer assistance. It is said to deliver exceptional driving and navigation support, particularly in narrow paths, U-turns, and other complex driving scenarios.
DVN comments
Huawei’s lidar is one of several sensors used by the ADS 3.0 system. This version represents an upgrade from ADS 2.0, improving features such as mapless ‘intelligent’ driving, collision avoidance, and all-scenario parking. Road and scene recognition in ADS 3.0 has improved due to cloud and real vehicle training. ADS 3.0 also includes the updated GOD network (general obstacle detection), which builds on the architecture of the bird’s eye view (BEV) network and the GOD network in ADS 2.0.
