Beijing (Gasgoo)- Automotive LiDAR supplier Hesai Technology recently unveiled its latest 360° LiDAR sensor, the OT128, designed for applications such as L4 autonomous driving, industrial robotics, smart ports, and ADAS development.

As the new flagship in Hesai’s 360° LiDAR lineup, the OT128 breaks away from traditional mechanical rotatable LiDAR designs, utilizing a fully chip-based architecture for its transceiver modules. This approach ensures high performance, automotive-grade reliability, and the ability to be mass-produced efficiently for large-scale deployment.

For the first time, Hesai has applied its VCSEL+SiPM transceiver module to a 360° mechanical LiDAR, with over 95% of its core components shared with the existing AT128 LiDAR. With this solution, the OT128 boasts cost efficiency through a 66% reduction in components, faster production times with a 95% decrease in core manufacturing steps, full 360° rotational scanning without the need for multiple units, and a mature, proven design that ensures higher reliability.

The OT128 boasts 360° coverage, a detection range of 200 meters at 10% reflectivity (up to 230 meters), 3.45 million points per second, and a 0.1° angular resolution.

Currently, companies such as DeepRoute.ai, WeRide, and Westwell have selected Hesai’s OT128 LiDAR for partner projects. The OT128 LiDAR has already been put into mass production at Hesai’s factory.

[Solid-State Battery Rumor Refuted: CATARC's Wang Fang Says No Compliance Determination Made for Solid-State Battery Enterprises]

[Solid-State Battery Rumor Refuted: CATARC's Wang Fang Says No Compliance Determination Was Made on Solid-State Battery Enterprises] On September 4, 2026, Wang Fang, Chief Scientist at the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC), clarified recent rumors at the "2026 World Power Battery Conference": CATARC has not conducted any determination on solid-state battery enterprises, and the related rumors are "false information." Recently, there were market reports claiming that CATARC, based on the national standard GB/T 43568-2026 "Solid-State Batteries for Electric Vehicles – Part 1: Terminology and Classification," which took effect in July this year, conducted determinations on more than 320 enterprises involved in solid-state batteries, with only 9 ultimately passing all compliance items in full.

[Solid-state battery: sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt, January-August]

[Solid-state battery: Sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt in January-August] From January to August 2026, China's cumulative sulphide electrolyte production reached 70 mt, up 119.7% YoY, already surpassing the full-year 2025 total (58.29 mt). However, this impressive growth masks three harsh realities: ① Only 19.6% of the annual forecast target (360 mt) has been achieved; ② The capacity utilization rate in August was just 5.82%, with capacity severely idling; ③ Product prices continued to plummet (LPSC fell over 24% in a single month). Q4 average monthly production will most likely land in the 11.5-13 mt range, with a full-year total of approximately 118-121 mt, representing a "solid climb." Annual forecast of 360 mt, with only 70 mt completed in the first eight months: the gap between the "mild ramp-up" of China's sulphide electrolyte and reality.
