Hesai designs and manufactures LiDAR, a laser-based sensor that builds a 3D map of its surroundings so vehicles and robots can "see" nearby objects. Its sensors go into cars with driver-assistance features, self-driving fleets that carry passengers or freight, and robots that make deliveries, sweep streets, or move goods. It also sells gas sensors and offers testing and engineering services.

How Hesai makes money

Hesai earns most of its revenue by selling LiDAR sensors to automakers, autonomous-driving fleet operators and robot makers. It also earns money from gas sensor sales, validation services, solution services and engineering product development.

What Hesai does

Hesai Group, founded in 2014 and based in Shanghai, develops, manufactures and sells 3D LiDAR, the laser-based sensors that let vehicles and machines detect and measure what's around them. It sells in Mainland China, Europe, North America and other markets. Customers use its LiDAR in three main areas: passenger and commercial vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous fleets that carry people and freight, and robots such as last-mile delivery robots, street sweepers and logistics robots working in restricted areas. LiDAR hardware is the core of the business. Hesai also sells gas sensor products and offers validation services, solution services and engineering product development. The company's results depend on how widely driver-assistance and autonomous driving systems are adopted, and on how quickly robots are deployed in logistics and city services.
