Marelli, and Hesai Group, which develops automotive-grade LiDAR, have announced a collaboration.
Marelli will integrate its headlamp design with Hesai’s next-gen ATX LiDAR technology.
Can China’s tech giants succeed where Apple failed?
David Fan, EVP and President China, Marelli said: "Co-creating innovative solutions with our customers or partners is at the core of Marelli's approach to driving the future of mobility. This collaboration with Hesai exemplifies our design-led innovation model perfectly."
The integration of both firms’ technology will offer key advantages, they say.
These include enhanced safety, seamless integration and improve performance. In addition, the solution also ensures affordability and cost competitiveness.
The ATX LiDAR is a compact and highly customisable long-range sensor specifically designed for automotive applications.
Compared to the previous generation product, the new ATX has achieved a significant volume reduction of nearly 60%, which makes it much easier to integrate into the headlamp.
Marelli will be hosting live demonstrations of the new headlamp concept with Hesai LiDAR integration at the Auto China 2024.
