Hesai Technology, a global leader in automotive lidar technology, is expanding its partnership with BYD, providing lidar systems for over 10 models set for mass production in 2025. As part of this collaboration, BYD will integrate Hesai’s lidar technology into its next-generation advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), “God’s Eye”, enhancing autonomous navigation in both city and highway driving.
Key Highlights:
- BYD sold over 4 million intelligent-driving vehicles in 2024, surpassing all domestic competitors.
- All new BYD models will feature “God’s Eye” ADAS, making advanced driver assistance accessible across its lineup.
- Lidar adoption in China’s automotive market surged past 1.5 million units in 2024, more than doubling from 2023.
- Hesai achieved a global milestone in December 2024, becoming the first lidar company to deliver over 100,000 units in a single month.
- Hesai plans to produce over 2 million lidar units in 2025, leveraging its extensive mass production and R&D capabilities.
- The company has secured over 100 design wins across 22 automotive OEMs, including Chery, Great Wall Motors, and Changan.
- Hesai’s ATX lidar, known for high performance in a compact form, will enter mass production in Q1 2025 and be included in multiple standard configuration models.
The Future of Lidar in BYD Vehicles
As part of BYD’s commitment to advanced driver assistance, the “God’s Eye” system will come in two versions, both powered by lidar to enhance navigation on autopilot (NOA) in urban and highway environments. This move reflects BYD’s strategy to make intelligent driving more accessible, reinforcing its leading position in China’s EV and ADAS markets.
Hesai’s contribution to ADAS innovation comes at a time when automated driving technologies are becoming a standard feature in modern vehicles. With its ATX lidar entering mass production in 2025, Hesai aims to solidify its role as a key supplier for major automotive OEMs. Multiple companies have already committed to integrating ATX lidar into their mass production models, signaling strong adoption across the industry.
With China’s automotive lidar market rapidly expanding, Hesai is well-positioned to lead the sector with its high-volume production capabilities, cutting-edge lidar technology, and strong partnerships. The company’s continued collaboration with BYD marks a significant step toward widespread lidar adoption, driving the future of safe and intelligent driving worldwide.
