LAS VEGAS, Jan 7 (XINHUA\/APP):Chinese company Hesai has showcased some advanced and low-cost products at the ongoing 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), contributing to the development of the struggling autonomous driving industry.<\/p>\n
Hesai, a Shanghai-based high-tech company, showcased AT128, a long-range hybrid solid-state lidar for driver-assistance systems (ADAS) applications in mass production passenger and commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n
AT128 provides the essential perception capabilities that L3+ autonomous vehicles require and could be seamlessly integrated onto the vehicle, Connie Su, the company’s public relations director, told Xinhua.<\/p>\n
“AT128 has a ranging capability of 200 meters at 10 percent reflectivity, with effective ground detection as far as 70 meters. It is one of the few hybrid solid-state lidars on the market that can detect objects at such a long range, while also reaching such a high measurement frequency,” she said.<\/p>\n
Apart from high reliability, AT128 greatly simplifies the traditional complex assembly process, thus increasing manufacturing efficiency and consistency for mass production needs. The sensor will begin mass production in 2022.<\/p>\n
Hesai also unveiled a new sensor, QT128, a short-range lidar with 105 degree ultra-wide vertical field of view, providing blind spot solution for robotaxis and robotrucks. QT128 will begin mass production in 2023.<\/p>\n
Lidar, an acronym of “light detection and ranging,” is akey equipment used in control and navigation for autonomous driving vehicles. Researchers forecast that by 2025, approximately 8 million autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles will run on the road.<\/p>\n
However, as one of the most hot tech trends, autonomous driving has been struggling for a long time to step over the barrier of cost since a huge and expensive lidar censor is difficult for customers to accept. Hesai and other leading companies at this year’s CES send a positive signal to the industry.<\/p>\n
