[0002] Existing autonomous driving integrated perception and control system designs are primarily developed for highway and passenger vehicle applications. These systems primarily focus on integrating the perception domain from a head-up or upward perspective, but lack corresponding solutions for a bird's-eye view. Furthermore, these designs are often designed for closed vehicles, rather than open ones. Furthermore, the commonly used head-up design significantly complicates the layout of perception modules and creates a redundant number of perception components. Currently, there is no effective solution to this problem. Utility Model Content

The device itself has the characteristics of closed and open vehicle body structures.
[0004] To ensure compatibility with other vehicles, only the installation location and corresponding sensor calibration need to be adjusted. At the same time, this solution fully utilizes the capabilities of surround-view camera perception and laser perception, making it possible to meet the spatial perception needs of autonomous vehicles to the greatest extent possible with minimal effort.

[0012] The electrical interface is fixed on one side of the cover;
[0013] The power module is fixed on the upper end surface of the base and electrically connected to the electrical interface to supply power to the radar module and computing power module.
[0014] Preferably, the base is an aluminum profile plate; and heat dissipation fins are provided on the lower end surface of the base.
[0015] Preferably, the radar module is a MID-360 laser radar.
[0016] Preferably, the camera module includes a mounting bracket and a wide-angle camera; the mounting bracket is fixed on the base; a plurality of adjustment holes are provided on the mounting bracket; a camera bracket is fixed on the wide-angle camera; and the camera bracket is connected to the adjustment holes of the mounting bracket through fasteners.
