RoboSense's LiDAR stopped working well enough to trigger a 93,000-vehicle recall in China. The same hardware is now being audited across the Pacific for different reasons.

The facts

Geely recalled nearly 93,000 vehicles in China due to faulty AI-powered LiDAR sensors from RoboSense, which impaired advanced driver-assistance functions and posed safety risks. In the U.S., government labs are investigating Chinese LiDAR for cybersecurity vulnerabilities and past malfunctions that disrupted autonomous driving systems, raising national security concerns.
