Hesai has recently entered strategic partnerships with JD.com and Amap in succession, while also launching its MT-series lidar for high-precision modeling.

On September 17, Hesai reached a strategic partnership with JD.com on full-scenario exploration of physical AI. From September 22 to 24, it announced another strategic partnership with Amap, focusing on collaboration between 3D data and real-world scenarios. The key question for such partnerships is whether they can translate into orders and revenue, rather than the announcement itself. On September 15, at the InterGEO exhibition in Munich, Hesai launched its MT-series lidar for high-precision modeling. The company says it holds more than 70% market share in the surveying lidar segment, and its products have been integrated into NavVis's surveying products. This represents an incremental direction in non-automotive scenarios, but the surveying market is relatively small compared with the automotive market, so whether it can drive overall revenue will depend on the subsequent volume ramp-up.
