More Details about Livox TELE‑15

Long Range

The Livox TELE‑15 employs a large‑diameter double‑aspheric lens to overcome common defocusing issues in long‑focus optical design. It achieves a detection range of up to 500 m, and even at low reflectivity (10%) it can still reach 320 m, ensuring reliable long‑distance LiDAR sensing for advanced autonomous driving.

Ultra‑High Point Cloud Precision and Density

The Livox TELE‑15 delivers angular precision of 0.03° with a beam divergence of 0.12° × 0.02°. This ultra‑high precision enables accurate detection of distant objects and clear recognition of contours. At 500 m with 50% reflectivity, the TELE‑15 provides dense point cloud data, and even for low‑reflectivity targets such as black vehicles, it can detect 14 points in just 100 ms, meeting the demanding requirements of L3 and L4 driving algorithms.

Non‑Repetitive Scanning Patterns

By emitting multi‑line laser beams with non‑repetitive scanning, the Livox TELE‑15 distributes up to 240,000 points within its 15° FOV. It achieves 99.8% coverage in just 100 ms, outperforming traditional 128‑line mechanical LiDAR sensors. This allows autonomous vehicles to perceive further ahead with greater detail, enhancing safety and reliability.

Stable and Reliable

The Livox TELE‑15 adopts an innovative optoelectronic system with rotation‑free photoelectric components, ensuring higher reliability and longer service life. It offers strong anti‑thermal deformation performance, meets VW80000 and ISO16750 automotive endurance standards, and complies with 10‑year vehicle life requirements. With an MTTF of up to 40,000 hours, the TELE‑15 fully meets the demands of L3 and L4 autonomous driving.
