Compared with normal lens, Brand optical lenses have higher requirements, especially in terms of safety performance. With strong shock resistance, resistance to harsh environments, and longer service life. Plastic lenses are difficult to meet the above requirements, so automotive lenses usually use an all-glass lenses with higher lenses cost.
With the improvement of ADAS level, the pixels and detection distance of vehicle cameras are also increasing. From the early 300,000-pixel reversing image, to the 1.2-megapixel autopilot lens, to the latest 8 million-pixel lens, the detection distance has achieved a breakthrough in the detection range from ten meters to one hundred meters.
The performance requirements of the lens are higher, the value and price of the car camera is correspondingly higher.
