Abstract
With the popularization of the Intelligent driving, new energy vehicles have gradually replaced the traditional fuel cars. The environmental perception of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in intelligent driving is the vital safeguard of drivers and vehicles themselves. Nowadays, LiDAR has been widely applied in the field of unmanned driving, which receives the information of surroundings through reflected Laser beam sent by its emitters. This article analyses the meanings and uses of LiDAR through the point cloud detection technology, combining with the application cases of LiDAR in electric vehicles. This paper finds that the effects of LiDAR are measuring the distance of the obstacles from the vehicles and reminding the drivers to pay attention to their driving safety. This technology has critical effects of vehicle security and driving safety. This study promotes the production and utilization of electric vehicles, helping to address the energy and environment issues and making contribution to the LiDAR technology.
