Hesai Showcases Next-Gen High-Performance Lidars at IAA Mobility 2025, Mass Production Expected in 2026

As the star product of Hesai's IAA Mobility showcase, ETX stands out with its unmatched 800-channel count, 400 m ranging capability at 10% reflectivity, and finest resolution at 0.05° × 0.025°. Designed for L3 and L4 autonomous driving, it is built on the world's first fully developed in-house digital single-photon platform, which integrates three core modules: laser emission, single-photon detection, and signal processing. While strictly adhering to Class 1 eye safety standards, ETX significantly enhances the perception of autonomous vehicles. Despite its industry-leading performance, ETX has a compact 32 mm height that is 35% smaller than comparable products (2), making it ideal for seamless behind-the-windshield integration.

ETX has already been selected by a global OEM for multiple vehicle models. Mass production is expected in 2026, accelerating large-scale deployment of L3 autonomous driving worldwide.

Visitors will have the first opportunity to experience ETX's behind-the-windshield solution and live point cloud demonstration at Hesai's (Hall B3, Booth A10), made possible through collaborations with leading windshield manufacturers AGC Wideye and Saint-Gobain Sekurit.

Leveraging solid-state electronic scanning, FTX delivers up to 180° x 140° field of view with more than double the resolution of its previous generation. It is 66% lighter than its prior model (3), with an exposed optical window of just 50 × 30 mm, enabling flexible integration for precise detection of low obstacles such as road posts, while supporting autonomous parking and safe lane changes. FTX is slated for mass production in 2026.
