- Hesai secured BAIC production nominations for its upgraded ATX LiDAR system across several vehicle models.
- Mass production and vehicle integration are expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
The Hesai ATX LiDAR system has received new production nominations from BAIC Group for several upcoming vehicle models, highlighting growing demand for high-performance perception sensors in automated driving systems. Announced on March 11, the agreement positions the upgraded LiDAR platform for integration into future vehicles as the Chinese automotive sector accelerates development of advanced driver assistance and Level 3 autonomous technologies.
Compact LiDAR Designed for High-Performance Perception
The Hesai ATX LiDAR system is engineered as a compact long-range sensing solution that balances a small hardware footprint with advanced perception capabilities required for automated driving functions. Following its large-scale production launch in the first quarter of 2025, the sensor quickly gained traction among automakers deploying safety and ADAS features, with cumulative shipments surpassing one million units.
Upgraded System Expands Safety and Performance Capabilities
An enhanced version of the ATX platform introduced in late 2025 further improved detection performance and safety capabilities. The upgraded LiDAR system has already secured orders exceeding four million units from global automakers and is scheduled to begin large-scale deliveries in April 2026. These developments reinforce the strategic role of LiDAR technology as automakers push toward higher levels of automated driving functionality.
BAIC Partnership Signals Momentum for Autonomous Deployment
The collaboration with BAIC Group strengthens the market presence of Hesai LiDAR technologies within China’s rapidly evolving autonomous driving ecosystem. BAIC received government approval in December 2025 to conduct pilot road operations for Level 3 autonomous systems, marking a step toward commercial deployment. Hesai reports that its LiDAR platforms have now secured production nominations from more than 40 automakers across over 160 vehicle models worldwide.
