Hesai's ETX 6D full-color LiDAR is quite impressive.

Through its self-developed SPAD-SoC chip, it fuses the 3D spatial (XYZ) perception of traditional LiDAR with RGB color information at the pixel level, achieving "XYZ+RGB" 6D perception and outputting point clouds with real colors.

Key Technologies:

1. Ultra-high line resolution: Up to 4320 lines, with point cloud density dozens of times that of traditional radars, capable of capturing minute details on the road.

2. Ultra-long-range detection capability: Maximum detection range of 600 meters, can identify a 15×25cm small wooden block at 150 meters, achieved through a high-power VCSEL array and a waveform decoding engine.

3. Full-color fusion: Simultaneously collects distance and color information, significantly improving the efficiency of target recognition for traffic lights, road signs, etc.

Mass Production and Value: Mass production in the second half of 2026, providing "high resolution + ultra-long range + full color" perception capabilities for L3/L4 autonomous driving, reducing algorithm complexity, and enhancing safety in high-speed scenarios.
