Insights
Hesai's AT128 lidar chosen for Pony.ai Robotaxis delivers critical sensing capability for advanced autonomous operation with automotive-grade reliability.
Pony.ai's selection of four Hesai AT128 lidar sensors per vehicle across their seventh-generation Robotaxi models represents significant technological validation. The AT128's specifications are impressive: 120° field of view, 200-meter detection range, and 1.53 million data points per second. These capabilities enable the comprehensive 360° obstacle detection essential for L4 autonomous operation in complex urban environments.
What makes this integration particularly notable is the automotive-grade qualification of the AT128, a crucial requirement for mass production of autonomous vehicles. This qualification addresses one of the fundamental challenges in bringing autonomous technology to market - ensuring sensors can withstand automotive environmental conditions while maintaining reliability.
The implementation appears to be supporting impressive real-world performance, with Pony.ai reporting over 500,000 hours of fully autonomous operation with a tenfold improvement in safety compared to human drivers. The AT128's integration into Pony.ai's system, which achieved a 70% reduction in bill-of-materials costs compared to previous generations, suggests Hesai has successfully balanced high performance with commercial viability - a critical balance for scaling autonomous vehicle technology.
Hesai secures major commercial win with Pony.ai deploying four AT128 lidars per vehicle across their seventh-generation Robotaxi fleet.
This partnership represents a significant commercial win for Hesai in the competitive lidar market. The selection of four AT128 units per vehicle across three different Robotaxi models creates substantial volume potential as Pony.ai begins scaled production of their autonomous fleet.
