On February 29th, according to media reports, it was mentioned that "Hesai Technology's laser radar has encountered firmware bugs due to mishandling of leap year timestamps, resulting in the automatic driving function being disabled for all vehicles equipped with Hesai laser radar."
Media outlets reached out to Hesai Technology for official confirmation regarding the matter, to which Hesai Technology responded that two older models of their L4 mechanical LiDARs had experienced a software bug today.
Currently, the root cause of the issue has been identified. Hesai has conducted thorough communication with relevant clients and provided corresponding solutions.
According to Hesai Technology, it is expected that the issue will be completely resolved within 24 hours. This problem does not involve the AT128 model and does not affect OEM clients. It has no impact on any passenger vehicles equipped with AT128 currently on the road.
From previous reports, as a leading enterprise in LiDAR technology, Hesai Technology has successfully surpassed the milestone of 50,000 deliveries of LiDARs, making it the first company in the global automotive LiDAR industry to exceed 50,000 deliveries in a single month.
In September 2022, Hesai achieved a milestone by delivering over 10,000 units in a single month, marking a successful start to mass production and establishing itself as the world's first automotive LiDAR company to surpass the 10,000-unit mark in monthly deliveries.
By December of the same year, Hesai reached a cumulative delivery milestone of 100,000 LiDAR units, cementing its position as the global leader in annual LiDAR production.
A year later, Hesai celebrated another milestone by surpassing the cumulative delivery mark of 300,000 units, once again solidifying its position as the world's first automotive LiDAR company to achieve this significant milestone.
