WASHINGTON, Oct 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Defense
Department removed China-based lidar maker Hesai Group  ZN80y.F 
from a list of companies allegedly working with Beijing's
military, according to a letter sent to Congress.
    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.
    Hesai filed suit in May challenging the designation.
