The 2025 L-series Max and Ultra trims now feature the smaller, more efficient Hesai ATL LiDAR, replacing the older AT128. The new LiDAR is 60% smaller, 55% more energy efficient, and 130% more sensitive. These models also upgrade to the Nvidia Drive Thor-U processor, delivering 700 TOPS, up from the previous dual Orin-X chips at 508 TOPS.
Updates across the board
The Li L6 is a five-seat large SUV measuring 4925 mm long, 1960 mm wide, and 1735 mm high, with a 2920 mm wheelbase. It’s powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged generator producing 113 kW (152 hp), which charges a 36.8 kWh LFP battery. This battery powers two electric motors delivering a combined peak output of 300 kW (402 hp).
The refreshed Li Auto L7 and L8 crossovers in the Pro trim now come equipped with a dual-chamber air suspension, replacing the standard air suspension from earlier models. This upgrade provides a firmer ride, allowing the Li L8 to successfully complete the moose test at a speed of 49.34 mph.
The working mechanism of Interlune’s lunar excavator
Helium-3 (He-3) is a non-radioactive isotope of helium that’s extremely rare on Earth, with only tiny amounts produced as a byproduct in nuclear reactors.
However, over billions of years, the moon’s surface has been slowly enriched with helium-3, thanks to solar winds continuously bombarding the lunar soil. Since the moon lacks a magnetic field to shield it from these winds, helium-3 keeps on accumulating in surface dust.
Interlune has developed a prototype lunar soil excavator capable of digging up to three meters deep in the lunar surface, where helium-3 is most likely to be found in higher concentrations.
The excavator can process up to 100 metric tons of regolith (moon dust) per hour, according to the company’s specs. Plus, it can separate helium-3 from other gases using a gaseous chemical process, designed to work in lunar conditions.
