Insights
Hesai's new lidar technology demonstrates significant technical advancements, positioning them competitively for future L3/L4 vehicle integration in 2026.
Hesai Technology's IAA Mobility 2025 showcase highlights three key lidar products that represent meaningful technological progress in autonomous driving sensors. The headline product, ETX, establishes new performance benchmarks with 800 channels and 400m range capability at 10% reflectivity—specifications that significantly exceed current market offerings.
The technical architecture behind ETX is particularly noteworthy. Hesai's fourth-generation platform introduces three proprietary technologies: Photon Vector Technology (PVT), Addressable Photon Isolation (API), and Intelligent Point Cloud Engine (IPE). These innovations address critical limitations in current lidar systems, particularly the 95% reduction in false positive rates through API technology and the ability to filter 99.9% of environmental noise in challenging conditions.
From a form factor perspective, ETX achieves a 35% size reduction compared to competitors while delivering superior performance. The 32mm height enables behind-windshield integration—a critical advancement for vehicle aesthetics and aerodynamics—demonstrated through partnerships with major automotive glass manufacturers AGC Wideye and Saint-Gobain Sekurit.
The complementary FTX product addresses a critical gap in autonomous systems by providing blind-spot coverage with an impressive 180° × 140° field of view. At 66% lighter than its predecessor with minimal external footprint, it represents significant engineering progress.
The confirmation of a global OEM selection for ETX and 2026 production timeline provides tangible commercial validation. This positions Hesai competitively as automakers accelerate L3 autonomous driving deployments, though the extended timeline to 2026 production indicates we're still early in the autonomous vehicle adoption curve.
Among the highlights is Hesai's automotive-grade ultra-long-range lidar ETX, setting a new industry benchmark with the world's highest channel count and ranging capability (1). Complementing ETX, the fully solid-state FTX fills perception blind spots for L3/L4 vehicles with the world's widest field of view. Hesai will also showcase ATX, its best-selling lidar for L2 assisted driving, which continues to lead the market.
ETX - Redefining High-Performance Lidar's Capability
As the star product of Hesai's IAA Mobility showcase, ETX stands out with its unmatched 800-channel count, 400 m ranging capability at
ETX's performance breakthroughs are powered by Hesai's fourth-generation technology platform, featuring three core modules:
- Photon Vector Technology (PVT): Hesai customizes high-power VCSEL laser arrays to dramatically improve photon transmission and reception efficiency, boosting ranging capability by
30% while reducing its size and power consumption. - Addressable Photon Isolation (API): Hesai's addressable photon isolation, built on independently addressable transceiver components, enables independent driving of laser transmit and receive channels. At the hardware level, this mitigates channel blooming found in traditional SPAD lidars, ensuring high-precision point clouds. In challenging scenarios such as highly reflective objects or rain and fog, ETX achieves a breakthrough with a
95% reduction in false positive rate (3). - Intelligent Point Cloud Engine (IPE): Built on principals of quantum optics, this engine leverages 24.6 billion samples/sec ultra-fast sampling to remove over
99.9% of environmental noise in challenging conditions such as rain, fog, dust, or vehicle exhaust.
ETX has already been selected by a global OEM for multiple vehicle models. Mass production is expected in 2026, accelerating large-scale deployment of L3 autonomous driving worldwide.
Visitors will have the first opportunity to experience ETX's behind-the-windshield solution and live point cloud demonstration at Hesai's (Hall B3, Booth A10), made possible through collaborations with leading windshield manufacturers AGC Wideye and Saint-Gobain Sekurit.

FTX – The Final Piece in Completing the Puzzle of L3 Autonomous Driving
At IAA Mobility 2025, Hesai is also showcasing the FTX, a fully solid-state blind-spot lidar that represents the critical missing piece for L3 autonomous driving. Leveraging solid-state electronic scanning, FTX delivers up to 180° x 140° field of view with more than double the resolution of its previous generation. It is
As a powerful blind-spot lidar, FTX works in tandem with ETX to form Hesai's Infinity Eye B solution, delivering panoramic perception for L3 and L4 autonomous driving. With its next-generation lidar portfolio, Hesai continues to push the boundaries of lidar technology, empowering automakers to accelerate the safe and scalable adoption of autonomous mobility.
