Hesai launches 128-channel Pandar128 lidar
Hesai released Pandar128 as a 128-channel mechanical lidar designed for automotive-volume production and autonomous-driving applications.
Why it matters
The launch establishes Pandar128's exact performance and production posture at introduction, providing a baseline distinct from its later functional-safety and cybersecurity certifications.
Evidence notes
- Pandar128 provides up to 0.1-by-0.125-degree resolution at 10 Hz and up to 6.912 million points per second.
- The stated detection range is 200 metres at 10% reflectivity, with IP6K9K ingress protection and a 1.63-kilogram mass.
- The launch described comprehensive testing and automotive-volume-production design, not a named vehicle deployment.
