September 2014, Quanergy launched the first product M8-1 and put into use, and has been used in experimental models of modern companies such as Mercedes-Benz, above. It is worth mentioning that, Quanergy also launched its first solid state laser radar.

Statistics show that Quanergy hardware products by 8 laser and sensor chip, and can accurately measure the field of view object contour edges and the relative distance between devices, so-called point clouds from among these profile information and draw a 3D environment maps. Popular parable, Quanergy company can provide eyes and brain to driverless cars. Hello Kitty case

In addition, compared to Google's smart car radar system Quanergy laser radar system costs less than 1% of Google, and believe that LiDAR products have small size, attractive appearance, a strong ability to adapt to the environment and so on.

The second half of 2014, Quanergy completed a $ 30 million series a financing.

Subsequently, Delphi automotive systems will cooperate with it, it for driverless cars to develop a new type of laser ranging (Lidar) system, each unit price less than $ 1,000. Compared with the traditional set of 8,000 to more than $ 100,000 worth of Lidar systems, the partnership to build the new Lidard system is full of advantages. Meanwhile, Quanergy LIDAR sensors can be blind to recognize around 300m. So greatly reducing camera, short distance/long distance radar and other traditional ADAS sensors and automatic driving needs. Accuracy (1 σ) in the 100m for 1.5cm. Scanning frequency 30Hz, the angular resolution of 0.1 degrees. This cooperation greatly enhance the market power of Quanergy, let it attract more investor attention.

The future, Quanergy aims to introduce smart cars through cooperation with car manufacturers, the company responsible for developing radar OPA, the manufacturer is responsible for the production of unmanned vehicles.
