RoboSense and Toyota will perform a deep cooperation around various hotter-selling models under FAW-Toyota, the Japanese auto giant’s Chinese joint venture with FAW Group. Specifically, RoboSense will deploy its RS-LiDAR-M series LiDAR (M series for short) onto the vehicles, powering them with accurate perception ability while ensuring the driving safety of Toyota's intelligent vehicle models.

The M series is RoboSense’s mainstay mass-produced automotive-grade product. It is the only second-generation smart solid-state LiDAR in the world to achieve the automotive-grade series production. It adopts a revolutionary chip-based 2D scanning solution, which boasts supreme performance and reliability. At present, the M series has obtained nominated orders for more than 50 vehicle models from nearly 20 automakers, including Toyota, with an expected order volume of more than 10 million units. 

The partnership between RoboSense and Toyota indicates that RoboSense has officially become the first Chinese LiDAR developer included in Toyota’s supply chain system. Prior to this, RoboSense also reached cooperation with BYD on various new energy vehicle models.
