Hesai Group, a major manufacturer of vehicle lidar sensors, has unveiled a new 6D full-color platform. This technology aims to significantly boost autonomous driving capabilities by improving object identification through color detection.

Hesai Group, the world’s largest maker of vehicle lidar sensors, introduced technology it said would raise autonomous driving features to a new level by detecting colour to improve the reliability of object identification. The Shanghai-based maker of light ­detection and ranging ­sensors said its 6D full-colour platform would deliver lidar sensors with world-leading capabilities in ranging and small-target identification. 6D refers to the sensors’ ability to detect the X, Y and Z coordinates of....
