HESAI Pandar128 Long Range Automotive High Performance Lidar Sensor

The HESAI Pandar128 is an automotive grade 128 channel 360° high performance long range LiDAR designed for autonomous driving, robotaxi, and robotrucking applications. It is built for vehicles that need full surround 3D perception, long range object detection, and dense point cloud output from a single rotating LiDAR sensor.

Yes. HESAI Pandar128 is a 360° LiDAR with a 360° horizontal and 40° vertical field of view. This makes it different from forward facing 120° automotive LiDAR sensors because it can provide full surround perception for autonomous vehicle platforms.

HESAI Pandar128 is suitable for robotaxi and robotrucking because it combines 360° coverage, 200 m detection at 10 percent reflectivity, and up to 6,912,000 points per second in dual return mode. These features help autonomous vehicles perceive surrounding traffic, pedestrians, lane edge objects, and obstacles over a wider operating area.

The HESAI Pandar128 has a listed ranging capability of 200 m at 10 percent reflectivity. This long range detection gives autonomous driving systems more reaction time, especially in medium to high speed driving scenarios.

Pandar128 can generate 3,456,000 points per second in single return mode and 6,912,000 points per second in dual return mode. This high point rate supports image like point cloud performance, helping autonomous systems capture denser 3D detail from the surrounding environment.

HESAI Pandar128 uses 128 channels and offers up to 0.1° horizontal and 0.125° vertical angular resolution. Compared with lower channel mechanical LiDAR sensors, this helps produce denser point clouds and clearer object shapes for autonomous vehicle perception.

Yes. HESAI Pandar128 provides image like point cloud performance, with high resolution, high point rate, and strong reflectivity accuracy. This is useful for autonomous systems that need to distinguish vehicles, pedestrians, road edges, traffic signs, and surrounding structures.

Yes. HESAI Pandar128 supports interference rejection, where each emitted pulse can be uniquely identified. This is important in environments with multiple LiDAR systems or highly reflective surfaces that may introduce sensing noise.

Yes. HESAI Pandar128 is validated for demanding automotive environments, including UV aging, high temperature, IP6K7 and IP6K9K protection, mechanical shock, salt spray, thermal shock with water splash, low temperature wakeup, humid heat cycling, vibration with thermal cycling, and electrical and electronic testing. It is also designed to meet automotive grade reliability standards with extended operational lifetime.

A team should choose HESAI Pandar128 when it needs a 128 channel 360° long range LiDAR for autonomous vehicle surround perception, robotaxi development, robotrucking, high density point cloud generation, and automotive grade reliability. It is especially relevant when full 360° coverage and high point rate matter more than compact forward facing sensor integration.
