Revealing the Secret Behind ET25's Ultra-Thin Design

ET stands for "Extremely Thin," indicating its ultra-slim design. The number 25 represents its height in millimeters. As Hesai's first lidar to be named after its height, the primary feature of ET25 is its "thinness". Compared to AT128, ET25 is only about half as tall. Why it is necessary for ET25 to adopt such a slim design? The emphasis on thinness comes from the need for both safety and aesthetics. First, we would like to introduce a key concept: KOZ. All sensors integrated on top of the cabin require a certain amount of space be...
