Hesai Technology has announced it will supply automotive lidar solutions for more than 10 BYD models expected to enter mass production in 2025.
BYD sold over four million intelligent vehicles last year, surpassing all domestic competitors, and has now announced that all its models will be equipped with God’s Eye – BYD’s next-generation advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), ensuring that ADAS features are accessible to everyone. As an integral component in vehicles featuring navigation on autopilot (NOA) for cities and highways, lidar will empower two God’s Eye system variants.
According to Chinese automotive news site Gasgoo, the automotive lidar market in the country continues to see strong growth, with the (on-the-road) lidar installation volume exceeding 1.5 million units for the first time in 2024, more than double the volume in 2023.
In December 2024, Hesai became the first lidar company in the world to deliver more than 100,000 units in a single month. Hesai’s planned annual production capacity is expected to exceed two million units in 2025, supported by the company’s mass production capabilities. Hesai has been awarded more than 100 design wins across 22 automotive OEMs including Chery, Great Wall Motors and Changan.
Hesai’s ATX lidar offers powerful performance in a compact form, empowering advanced assisted driving functions. The ATX will enter mass production in the first quarter of 2025, with multiple companies incorporating it into standard configuration for mass production models in 2025.
