    Abstract: This application discloses a frequency modulated continuous wave LiDAR and an autonomous driving device. The LiDAR includes a light source module, a silicon photonic chip and a refraction module, and the silicon photonic chip includes a light splitting module, a coupling module and multiple transceiving units. The light splitting module receives a laser beam coupled into the silicon photonic chip, divides the laser beam into multiple beams of detection light, and transmits the multiple beams of detection light to corresponding multiple transceiving units, and the transceiving units emit the received detection light outward. The refraction module is configured to refract the detection light emitted by the multiple transceiving units to emit multiple beams of detection light in a staggered manner in a second direction, where the second direction is a direction perpendicular to the terminal surface of the transceiving unit.
