LiDAR

Hesai is the second Chinese company after Pony AI to be reported this month to have confidentially filed for a Hong Kong listing.

Hesai's ATX LiDAR will be used in multiple production models of Leapmotor from 2025 onwards.

Hesai will break ground on its first overseas project by the end of this year, targeting production in 2026, according to the Financial Times.

This is the first time a foreign automaker has sought to apply this Chinese-made technology to models sold outside China, according to Reuters.

Li Auto will upgrade the smart driving chips in updated models, starting to use the Nvidia Thor-U chip and providing LiDARs as standard across all models.

RoboSense expects to get up to HK$1 billion from the new share placement, with 70 percent of the money to be used for research and development, with a focus on robotics.

RoboSense has produced its one millionth LiDAR and delivered it to a humanoid robot company.

Li Auto will make LiDAR standard on all new models this year, bringing enhanced smart driving capabilities, according to local media.

Hesai has unveiled the AT1440, which it said has the world's highest number of channels for an automotive LiDAR, with a resolution more than 30 times higher than mainstream automotive LiDARs.

RoboSense unveiled its new EM4 LiDAR with up to 1,080 laser channels, calling it the world's first LiDAR with more than 1,000 channels.
