"We are very excited to debut the ATX and are confident it will have a great impact on adoption of lidar given its versatility," said David Li, CEO of Hesai Technology. "In creating this product, we wanted to give our customers an appealing solution to ensure safety is a standard feature in every intelligent vehicle."

ATX incorporates the market-validated transceiver architecture from Hesai's AT series, significantly increasing module integration and simplifying the core optical scanning structure – all while maintaining a compact and lightweight form. Hesai has shipped over 300K units of AT128 as of today. Compared to the AT128, the ATX is 60% smaller by volume, almost half the weight, features a minimum surface window measuring only 25 mm tall, and power consumption just 8 W.

Thanks to its compact size and ultra-low power consumption, ATX can be flexibly integrated into various positions on a vehicle, including on the roof, behind the windshield, or inside the front headlights.

ATX has a maximum detection range of 300 meters and its horizontal FOV reaches 140°, providing expansive visibility of complex road conditions such as surrounding vehicles or pedestrians. Its ultra-wide FOV also equips vehicle systems with comprehensive and precise perception information. It can identify conditions such as rain, fog, exhaust fumes, and water droplets, and mark them in real-time at a pixel level, filtering over 99% environment noises.

ATX has already received design wins and nominations from global leading OEMs. Large-scale mass production of ATX is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025. With the introduction of ATX-equipped models, more consumers will be able to experience a safer and more intelligent driving experience.
