According to Hesai Technology, under the cooperation, it will supply Changan Auto with its AT128 auto-grade ultra-high-definition LiDAR to the automaker's various new vehicle models powered by the SDA architecture. 

The AT128 is Hesai Technology's long-range main LiDAR targeting the factory-installed ADAS market. As its name implies, the AT128 integrates 128 lasers inside, realizing ultra-high-resolution scanning of the surrounding environment with a dot frequency of more than 1.53 million per second, helping intelligent vehicles to "see" the three-dimensional world in real time.

As Hesai Technology's signature product, since its release, the AT128 has attracted procurement orders from various auto brands such as Li Auto, Baidu's JIDU, HiPhi, and Lotus Cars. In September this year, the company announced that the monthly delivery volume of the AT128 has exceeded 10,000 units, making the Hesai Technology the world's first automotive LiDAR supplier to deliver over 10,000 LiDAR units in a single month. 

On the other hand, the SDA architecture is Changan Auto's intelligent vehicle super digital platform newly launched in August this year. The architecture has such technical features as pluggable hardware, arrangeable scenario, self-upgradable system, and an ecosystem on demand.
