Abstract: Automated driving is the ultimate direction of intelligent car development. Lidar, camera, millimeter wave radar, ultrasonic sensing and other sensors are the hardware foundation for automatic driving. China’s automotive sensor technology industry still has a lot of room for improvement. Laser diodes, avalanche diodes, high-endCMOSimage sensor chips, DSP chips, 77GHz radar and other core components are highly dependent on foreign countries.Key supporting technologies such as automation design, test simulation, and software algorithms still need further breakthrough. In the future, we should start from the aspects of sensor design and manufacturing technology research, multi-sensor fusion, perfect industrial chain layout, and strengthen industrial synergy to improve the competitiveness of China’s self-driving automotive sensor industry.

Key words: self-driving car, laser radar, camera, millimeterwaveradar, ultrasonic sensor
