Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the transition of AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) systems in China from voluntary installation to mandatory standardization, which is expected to significantly boost the intelligent driving industry, particularly benefiting the laser radar sector as a key component in perception systems [1]. Group 1: Policy Impact - The release of the draft technical requirements for AEB systems by the National Standardization Administration indicates a new era of mandatory installation in China [1]. - This policy is anticipated to drive growth in the intelligent driving supply chain, particularly for perception, decision-making, and control players [1]. Group 2: Laser Radar Advantages - Vehicles equipped with laser radar can avoid 25% of collision accidents and improve the ability to mitigate accident impacts by 29% according to a study by Swiss Re [1]. - NIO has reported that its active safety iterations have reduced average accident losses for owners by 25.2% [2]. - Laser radar offers unique advantages over pure visual solutions, such as unaffected performance in various lighting conditions and high precision in distance measurement and speed calculation [3]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - The current mainstream AEB solutions are based on visual and millimeter-wave radar technologies, with costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan depending on sensor configurations [4]. - The penetration of laser radar in the market is contingent upon reducing costs, which could accelerate its adoption and promote "safety equity" [4]. - The new AEB standard may also enhance the penetration of other advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) features, benefiting laser radar technology [4].
