About LiangDao

LiangDao Intelligence operates as a system provider of LiDAR-based sensing solutions, strategically positioned within the autonomous driving and smart city sectors. The company was established in 2017 through a Sino-German collaboration and maintains a global footprint with headquarters in Beijing, a European R&D center in Berlin, and business centers in Munich and Shanghai. The foundation of LiangDao is rooted in the extensive experience of its core team, including CEO Dr. Xueming Ju, whose background includes a Ph.D. from the Technical University of Munich and a project manager role at BMW Group. This collective expertise from leading German OEMs and research institutions drives the company's focus on developing mass-production-ready technologies for L3-L5 autonomous driving.

The company's business model revolves around providing a comprehensive stack of LiDAR-centric products and services. This includes perception software, testing and validation solutions, and data services tailored for global automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and technology firms. Revenue is generated by delivering these specialized solutions which facilitate the development, testing, and deployment of autonomous driving functions. For instance, LiangDao offers vehicle road test services and has provided extensive Automated Park Assist (APA) functionality testing for major clients. The firm has secured significant funding, totaling over $15.8 million through multiple rounds, with notable investors like China Merchants Capital and SDIC. These funds are allocated to advance LiDAR technologies, develop new perception functionalities, and enhance its data toolchains.

LiangDao’s product portfolio is designed to be hardware-agnostic and address the entire data loop of autonomous systems. Key offerings include LD Perception, an AI-powered perception algorithm for object detection and road feature recognition; LD Compass, a high-performance measurement system for validation; and LD Data Factory, an intelligent toolchain for generating high-quality ground truth data. The company has delivered over 50 million frames of 4D ground truth data for a leading Tier-1 supplier and won the 2025 Tech.AD Award for this toolchain. In the smart city domain, LiangDao deploys solutions like the City Holographic Intersection and roadside sensing stations in cities such as Solingen and Wuppertal, Germany, to improve traffic management and safety. Strategic partnerships with companies like Tencent Cloud, FEV, and Mercedes-Benz AG underscore its collaborative approach to building integrated data solutions and advancing autonomous technology.
