About

About AT128

AT128 is Hesai’s 128-channel automotive lidar for long-range environmental perception. Its forward-facing scan spans 120 degrees horizontally and 25.4 degrees vertically, producing 1,536,000 points per second in single-return mode. The current ranging specification is 210 m on a 10%-reflective target, with 0.1-degree horizontal and 0.2-degree vertical angular resolution.

The 940 g sensor measures 136 mm wide, 114 mm deep and 49 mm high, allowing integration into vehicle bodywork. It draws 13.5 W and has Class 1 eye safety, IP6K7/IP6K9K environmental validation and ISO 26262 ASIL B functional-safety product certification. Applications include driver-assistance systems, robotaxis, autonomous trucks and logistics equipment. Existing automotive design wins and deliveries establish commercial use; individual vehicle configurations and programme dates remain specific to each deployment.
