$HSAI
Hesai Group (NASDAQ:HSAI) has been selected by SAIC-GM to integrate its long-range, automotive-grade AT series lidar into Cadillac’s new all-electric VISTIQ SUV. This integration, unveiled at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, represents the industry’s first in-cabin (behind the windshield) lidar deployment.
This strategic placement not only ensures precise environmental sensing in challenging conditions such as rain, snow, or dust but also maintains the vehicle’s sleek exterior design while protecting valuable components from potential damage during minor collisions.
David Li, Co-Founder and CEO of Hesai, expressed pride in this groundbreaking collaboration, stating, “The in-cabin deployment of our AT series sensor represents a significant leap forward in both automotive design and autonomous sensing capability.” This partnership with SAIC-GM is part of a broader initiative by Hesai to establish itself as a key digital ecosystem partner, providing high-performance, reliable and cost-effective lidar solutions that propel the future of intelligent, electric mobility.
In addition to its achievements in the automotive industry, Hesai has extended its influence to the burgeoning field of robotaxis. The company announced that its lidar technology would power a new fleet of robotaxis for Pony.ai, a Chinese autonomous driving company. This collaboration is set to enhance Pony.ai’s L4-level autonomous driving capabilities, as showcased during the Shanghai Auto Show with their seventh-generation robotaxi solution.
The strategic use of Hesai’s lidar technology by Pony.ai and Cadillac underscores the company’s pivotal role in advancing autonomous driving and vehicle safety. These partnerships not only highlight Hesai’s technological prowess but also its ability to meet the diverse needs of its clients in both the passenger vehicle and commercial mobility sectors. As Hesai Group continues to innovate and expand its technological offerings, the implications for the automotive and mobility industries are profound.
