Overview
L4 autonomous heavy-duty truck using hybrid intelligent platooning technology. A human-driven lead vehicle guides multiple driverless L4 follow trucks, enabling commercial freight operations on expressways and national highways. Equipped with Hesai AT128 automotive-grade lidar and Arbe-based 4D imaging radar for 360-degree perception. Seven mass-production variants have been launched with partner automakers.
