This encompasses functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI compliance. The initiative aims to elevate industry trust. It ensures AI-driven physical systems meet the highest reliability standards. This collaborative effort leverages Hesai's extensive lidar deployment and proven safety record, including ISO 26262 certification. The goal is to accelerate safe, large-scale deployment of autonomous technology globally. This is a critical step for future mobility.
Hesai Technology makes a significant move. The global lidar leader joins the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab. This alliance marks a pivotal moment for autonomous vehicle safety. It also boosts robotics applications. Hesai will now validate its advanced lidar platforms. This happens within a unified framework. This framework covers functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI compliance.
NVIDIA Halos sets a new standard. It is the first ANAB-accredited inspection lab for AI-driven physical systems. Halos offers a comprehensive, full-stack safety system. It applies to physical AI. The system unifies safety elements. These span vehicle and robotics architectures. They also cover underlying AI models. Halos integrates hardware and software components. It includes tools, models, and design principles. Its mission is clear: safeguard AI-based, end-to-end AV and robotics stacks.
Autonomous systems demand trust. Widespread adoption hinges on supreme safety and reliability. Intelligent machines are moving towards large-scale deployment. Safety becomes the defining requirement. Hesai understands this imperative deeply. The company's engineering philosophy prioritizes safety from its inception.
Lidar technology is foundational. It forms a core component in autonomous system safety architecture. Lidar provides precise 3D perception. It maps the surrounding environment with accuracy. This enables autonomous systems to detect objects effectively. It helps them understand road conditions. They can then respond to potential hazards in real time. Lidar often acts as the primary sensor. It detects dangers in the most critical on-road scenarios.
Hesai boasts a strong safety record. The company introduced the world's first lidar. It achieved ISO 26262 ASIL B Functional Safety Product Certification. Germany's SGS TÜV accredited this certification. Hesai now holds the largest global portfolio of ISO 26262 certified lidar products. This demonstrates unwavering commitment to safety.
The company also shapes global lidar safety standards. Hesai contributes to ISO TC22 SC32 AHG1. Industry leaders like Bosch, Denso, Sony, Nissan, and ZF also participate. This collaboration ensures robust, future-proof safety protocols.
Hesai's engineering centers on a "Safety Triad." This integrates three crucial elements. It combines functional safety, Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF), and cybersecurity. These are embedded across all lidar system designs. This ensures safe deployment. It accounts for complex real-world environments.
Hesai's market presence is substantial. It has cumulatively delivered over 2 million lidar units globally. This empowers advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It also supports autonomous vehicles and robotics. These applications span a growing number of commercial platforms. Hesai leads the industry in deployed lidar units. This positions the company to define safety architecture. It supports next-generation autonomous systems.
The partnership with NVIDIA is not new. Hesai's work with NVIDIA began years ago. Hesai lidar integrated with NVIDIA autonomous computing platforms in 2019. This provided high-precision ground truth data. It was essential for advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving systems. This historical collaboration laid groundwork for deeper integration.
Hesai was recently chosen as a lidar partner. This was for NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10. Hyperion 10 is a reference compute and sensor architecture. It makes vehicles Level 4-ready. This empowers automakers and developers. They can build safe, scalable, AI-defined fleets. This ongoing collaboration highlights mutual trust and shared vision.
Autonomous technologies are transitioning. They move from development programs to real-world deployment. Industry-wide collaboration becomes essential. Establishing trusted safety frameworks is paramount. Hesai's involvement with NVIDIA is key to this. It strengthens the safety architecture. This brings trusted autonomous technology into everyday use.
This partnership accelerates the journey. It fosters secure mobility. Lidar is indispensable. Its role in perception and hazard detection is critical. The integration into NVIDIA Halos bolsters this. It ensures rigorous validation processes. This secures the future of autonomous driving and robotics.
Hesai's relentless pursuit of safety standards continues. Its engagement in global safety initiatives remains strong. The company aims to define sensing technologies. These will support the next generation of autonomous mobility. The NVIDIA Halos collaboration is a major step. It solidifies Hesai's position as a safety innovator. It also propels the entire autonomous industry forward.
The future demands unwavering vigilance. AI systems must operate flawlessly. Lidar provides a vital layer of perception. The Halos lab provides stringent testing. Together, they form a formidable alliance. This alliance drives the secure evolution of AI-driven autonomy. It builds public confidence. It makes autonomous futures a safe reality.
