Ouster Lidar Enabling Commercial Launch of Autonomous Vehicle Technologies in 2022
Summary
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ouster, a leading provider of high-resolution lidar sensors for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping, is working with NVIDIA to provide lidar sensors for use in Level 3 to Level 5 autonomous driving systems being developed by major global OEMs targeting production in 2022. Ouster lidar sensors satisfy multiple use cases across commercial autonomous vehicle applications utilizing the NVIDIA DRIVE platform, including public transportation, freight, refuse and recycling collection, construction, mining, and more. “ The OS2’s reliability and resolution make it the clear choice for NVIDIA’s OEM partners that require the highest level of dependability.” For autonomous driving systems, Ouster’s structured lidar data can increase input processing speeds by up to 100-times over traditional unstructured lidar data when using vector processors like NVIDIA GPUs. “ Ouster sensors are an excellent solution for lidar perception due to their resolution, price, and reliability,” said Gary Hicok, senior vice president of Automotive Hardware and Systems at NVIDIA. Using its unique multi-beam flash lidar architecture, Ouster’s sensors are reliable, compact, and affordable, while delivering camera-like image quality.
