Over the past two years, discussions on autonomous driving technology have inevitably revolved around a few key terms: end-to-end, VLA, world models, and increasingly expensive training GPUs. The discussions have focused almost entirely on the model side. Yet, few have directly asked a crucial question: If the model changes, do the sensors need to change accordingly? Recently, news emerged that Afari Technology has launched an AI millimeter-wave radar (4D). Afari claims this is the first time a

On September 15, Hesai Technology unveiled its MT series LiDAR for high-precision 3D modeling at InterGEO 2026. One noteworthy change is the elevated priority given to spatial resolution. Although this LiDAR is primarily designed for high-precision modeling and high-accuracy 3D reconstruction rather than serving as the primary LiDAR for passenger vehicle autonomous driving, there is still much worth discussing. Official data reveals that the MT series achieves a 70% reduction in spot area at a d

In the past, discussions about LiDAR focused more on lasers, detectors, and scanning mechanisms. Today, an increasing number of manufacturers are designing their own custom ASICs and SoCs (System on Chip), enabling chips to take on a growing share of signal and data processing tasks. So, what exactly are these chips inside LiDAR processing? 01. Why Doesn't LiDAR Receive Ready-Made Point Clouds? What LiDAR actually receives is reflected light. After the photodetectors convert these optical signal
