The Pentagon calls this Chinese firm a military company. Its lidar runs US robotaxis anyway

Hesai, a Chinese lidar maker labeled by the US Pentagon as a military company, supplies sensors to major US autonomous vehicle firms including Amazon's Zoox and Nvidia's platform. Despite security concerns and blacklisting, Hesai's affordable sensors dominate the market and are widely used in US robotaxis, trucks, and airports. The situation raises trust and security questions amid ongoing US and EU efforts to restrict Chinese tech in critical infrastructure.
