Automotive
Introducing a new era of vehicle safety and efficiency.
Visualize DataCreate a world with no car accidents.
The global automotive industry is introducing new levels of automation that will reinvent the safety and efficiency standards of transportation for generations. But cameras and radar alone cannot guarantee safe driving — and traditional analog lidar is failing to meet the automotive industry’s increasing demands for performance, reliability, and commercial viability. Safe and efficient vehicle automation requires the perception enabled by digital lidar technology. With the power of Ouster’s high-performance digital ecosystem, including the upcoming true solid-state DF system, safe highways and cities are within reach.
Build the safest cars in the industry.
Consumer ADAS
In the past three years, automobile accidents in America have left more than 120,000 people dead and sent more than 10 million to the emergency room. That's 6.27 people in an ambulance to the emergency room every single minute. Society deserves safer cars, roads, and highways.
Complete sensor suite.
A complete suite of short, medium, long, and ultra long range sensors offer complete, 360°, coverage of the vehicle from <.5m to over 200 meters at 10% reflectivity with vertical FoV's up to 180° for the OS Dome.
Range and resolution.
Reliable L4+ features are possible thanks to 200+ meters of range at 10% reflectivity, point density up to 9.6m points per second, reliable black car detection at 150+ meters, and 128 channels of resolution. L4+ autonomy means a vehicle can handle all aspects of driving in certain scenarios, including navigating complex environments, making decisions, and responding to various situations, without the need for a human driver. It is the level of autonomy necessary for robotaxis to operate effectively, autonomously, in cities.
High performance in environmental obscurants.
In 2022 Ouster sensors made massive gains in sensor performance in conditions such as rain, dust, and fog and now have dependable object detection capabilities even in adverse conditions.
All weather, all condition, performance.
All weather, all condition, performance means driving in all conditions with sensors rated IP68 (immersion in > 1 m of water) and IP69K (withstands 2000 psi power washing), expanded temperature range down to -40º C, and real world shock and vibe reliability.
A step towards danger free roads.
Autonomous vehicles
Commuters in California spend an average of 119 hours in traffic every year. Across the US, traffic costs the economy $179 billion. 1/3 of the 3.5 million truck drivers in the US will be involved in a serious accident during their careers. Drunk driving still kills over 10,000 people in the US annually and marginalized populations continue to have their transportation needs underserved. We're working to minimize traffic, give time back to drivers, provide dependable and affordable transportation options, and end accidents for good. Autonomous vehicles are the next logical step towards mitigating these issues without a serious change in global infrastructure and are already providing incredible metrics to show their effectiveness.
L4+ Autonomy
Automated driving in all environments enabled by a complete suite of short, medium, long, and ultra long range sensors that provide 360°, coverage of the vehicle from <.5m to over 200 meters.
No downtime and universal access
Fleet operators are able to offer more rides at an affordable price point by decreasing vehicle downtime and removing barriers to access for underserved neighborhoods and populations. The advent of push button ride service has already had a significant impact on instances of drunk, tired, and dangerous driving. This will take it a step further.
Powered by the L3.
The core of our OS lineup powers doubled range, 10x photon sensitivity, and 5.2m points per second.
L3 Chip
21.47 Gmacs of signal processing and 125 Million Transistors on Chip
Improve Safety.
Our sensors are built to improve safety throughout society. Keeping drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and all road users out of dangerous scenarios is a core focus for Ouster. Powering the perception platforms of robotaxis, long haul trucking, and short range mobility are all ways in which Ouster is working towards an accident free world.
Reduce cost & complexity.
Reducing costly and dangerous accidents, providing schedule predictability, and lowering the cost of operation all help businesses increase profits and efficiency.
Improve sustainability.
Autonomous driving and ADAS features in consumer automotive as well as in commercial trucking hold the promise of significant emissions reduction.
