Mercedes-Benz will develop smart driving cars for global markets equipped with Hesai 's lidar sensors.

It is the first time a foreign automaker has sought to use such Chinese -made technology for models sold outside China .

Lidar uses lasers to produce three -dimensional images of a vehicle's surroundings to help navigation around obstacles.

It coincides with an increase in trade tensions as the U.S. intensifies efforts to restrict the adoption of Chinese components.
