China-based Hesai Group sued the U.S. government on Monday for adding the maker of lidar light sensors to a list of companies allegedly working with Beijing's military. Hesai, whose lidars help self-driving cars and driver-assistance systems gain a three-dimensional map of the road, was added to the list by the U.S. Department of Defense in January along with over a dozen other companies. "No Chinese governmental or military entity has sought to exert influence or control over the Hesai Group's management, strategy, or research-and development operation," Hesai said in the lawsuit, adding it was majority owned by shareholders outside China.
