Today, Hesai Technology announced that it received an additional $70 million in investment from Xiaomi. Together with the previously announced $300 million, Hesai has raised over $370 million in its Series D round. Lead investors for this round include Xiaomi Group, Hillhouse Ventures, Meituan, and CPE.

The funds will be used to support the mass production of hybrid solid-state LiDAR for ADAS, the construction of Hesai's new manufacturing center, and the development of automotive-grade LiDAR chips.

Hesai Technology is a global leader in LiDAR sensors. Its latest product, AT128, is a long-range, hybrid solid-state LiDAR. The sensor reaches 200-meter range at 10% reflectivity and measures over 1.53 million data points per second (single return).

AT128 has been selected for multiple ADAS programs and received orders for millions of units by a number of automotive manufacturers including Li Auto, JiDU, HiPhi, and Lotus. Hesai will continue working with its ecosystem partners to accelerate the commercialization and mass production of autonomous vehicles.
