Hesai plans annual lidar capacity above four million units
Hesai announced a plan to raise annual lidar capacity from two million to more than four million units during 2026.
Why it matters

Evidence notes
- The announced 2026 capacity target exceeds four million units, double the stated two-million-unit annual baseline.
- The expansion addresses ADAS and robotics demand, while automated production lines have a stated ten-second cycle time.
