Hesai unveils FT120 solid-state blind-spot lidar
Hesai unveiled FT120 as a fully solid-state, 100-degree by 75-degree near-range blind-spot lidar for series-production vehicles.
Why it matters
The launch establishes FT120's solid-state architecture, blind-spot role and stated production plan, but not completed mass production or a canonical product profile.
Evidence notes
- FT120 has no internal moving parts, a stated 100-metre maximum range and a 192,000-point-per-second single-return data rate.
- Its compact design supports placement in a fender, grille or bumper for near-range blind-spot perception.
- At release, expected OEM volume exceeded one million units and mass production was planned for the second half of 2023; completed deliveries were not yet evidenced.
