Autonomous driving technologies are progressing rapidly and the widespread adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) has created a pressing need for reliable automotive-grade perception systems. Lidar stands out as the safe and secure sensor technology to significantly enhance safety in autonomous driving vehicles, ultimately leading to a substantial reduction in accidents when implemented in every car. Lidar provides car manufacturers with high-resolution 3D vision capabilities that function exceptionally well both in daytime and nighttime driving conditions. Hesai's industry leading high-performance, automotive-grade lidars have become the sensor of choice for both ADAS and L4 autonomous driving applications.
Elevate Safety in Every Design
Hesai follows the highest standards of safety, security, and reliability in everything. Throughout the product design phase, we adopt a "3-in-1" System Safety and Security philosophy and strictly integrate the safety measures of three standards into all our lidar products: Functional Safety, Safety Of The Intended Functionality (SOTIF), and Cybersecurity.
Functional Safety
To ensure safety even in the occasion of unintended component failures.
Hesai's functional safety technology covers 100% of the safety-related components. The fault detection and reaction time is within 100 ms, meeting the requirements of any perception system.
Hesai has developed core intellectual properties such as proactive interference rejection technology and blockage detection algorithm to ensure that the lidar outputs reliable data and can be safely used.
To ensure that the lidar outputs authentic data and is safe to use even under cyber attacks.
Hesai's comprehensive cybersecurity risk management system covers nearly 100% of all scenarios, with core technologies such as data encryption and lidar authentication, ensuring security operation and preventing hacking.

Data security and information security are Hesai's top priorities. This mindset are hard-wired into our design and the core DNA of our company from top to bottom.
Data Security
Our lidars are designed with the highest level of security in mind. There is no storage mechanism to store even a second of the image they see. Hesai lidars are not capable of transmitting data wirelessly. They have no cellular connection, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth. The only way for the lidar point cloud to be transferred out to the car is through a one-way secure cable, and all data is completely owned and controlled by our customers.
Establishing a reliable information security system is not only a compliance requirement, but also an essential commitment to customers. Hesai has passed ISO's top information security management system certification (ISO/IEC 27001:2013) and the highest assessment level (AL3) of Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX), providing safe and reliable services to our partners around the world.
Lidar standardization is crucial to improving autonomous driving safety and large-scale applications. We have taken up the responsibility to use our technical expertise — in optics, mechanics, and electronics — to lead the standardization process, promoting the implementation of automotive lidar standards across the world.
