2 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 1 , wherein
the peripheral side face of the base plate comprises a first side face and a second side face, and the side plate comprises a first side sub-plate and a second side sub-plate, wherein the first side sub-plate is fixedly connected to the first side face, and the second side sub-plate is fixedly connected to the second side face; the fixing plate comprises a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate, wherein the first fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the first side sub-plate away from the base plate, the first fixing plate extends in the direction away from the box space, the second fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second side sub-plate away from the base plate, and the second fixing plate extends in the direction away from the box space; and when the LiDAR bracket is mounted to the vehicle, both the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are fixedly connected to the inside of the vehicle body of the vehicle.

3 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 2 , wherein the side plate further comprises a third side sub-plate, the third side sub-plate being fixedly connected to and located between the first side sub-plate and the second side sub-plate and spaced apart from the base plate.

4 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the base plate further comprises a first face, a second face, and a vibration-damping through-hole, the vibration-damping through-hole penetrating through the first face and the second face, the LiDAR being fixedly connected to the first face and at least partially covering the vibration-damping through-hole.

5 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 4 , wherein a ratio of an area of the vibration-damping through-hole to an area of the first face ranges from ¼ to ⅔.

6 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 4 , wherein a noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance value measured for the LiDAR is greater than or equal to 25 dB, and a ratio of an area of the vibration-damping through-hole to an area of the first face ranges from ½ to ⅔.

7 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 4 , wherein a noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance value measured for the LiDAR is less than 25 dB, and a ratio of an area of the vibration-damping through-hole to an area of the first face ranges from ¼ to ½.

8 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 4 , wherein a ratio of an area of the first face to an area of a face of the LiDAR facing the first face ranges from 0.5 to 1.5.

9 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the side plate is substantially perpendicular to the base plate, and the fixing plate is substantially perpendicular to the side plate.

10 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the LiDAR bracket is made of metal or thermoplastic resin, and the base plate, the side plate, and the fixing plate are integrally formed.

11 . The LiDAR bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the base plate further defines at least three mounting through-holes, the at least three mounting through-holes being arranged along a periphery of the base plate and spaced apart from each other, and each of the at least three mounting through-holes penetrating through the base plate in a thickness direction of the base plate.

12 . A vehicle, comprising a vehicle body, a window glass, a LiDAR, and a LiDAR bracket,
wherein
