Introducing the Digital Flash (DF) lidar series from Ouster Automotive

Introducing the DF sensor series from Ouster Automotive, a suite of short, mid, and long-range solid-state digital lidar sensors for passenger and commercial vehicles.
The DF series features four solid state components -- VCSEL Tiles, Diffuser, Optical lens and SPAD -- which are all contained in the same unit, so there is no unnecessary complexity, and nothing to get misaligned.
The shared core technology between all DF sensors means a simple change in optics is all that is needed to create a lidar sensor with completely different specifications and functionality.
Ouster builds high-resolution 3D lidar sensors that are powering autonomy in the industrial, smart infrastructure, robotics, and automotive industries. We are a team with deep knowledge of semiconductors, optics, signal processing, computer vision, and high-volume manufacturing. Our breakthrough digital lidar technology produces sensors that are high-resolution, reliable, and affordable. We are working to make 3D sensing lidar technology ubiquitous throughout our everyday lives.

Any plan to replace the diffuser and the bulky optical lens with metalenses in the long run?

[@Anonimousoa]

what if the ouster uses a diffuser?

[@kolebronson24]

I think the OEMs are more likely to go with a dynamic range design.

[@jeffdange75]

I'm excited

[@BobrMorf]

Where can I buy this scanner for testing?

[@Anonimousoa]

How wide the POV is at 200 meters?

This is a 20 billion dollar company in a few years...

What’s the price? How do these stand apart from Neuvision and DJI new solid state units?

MEMS tech it does not compare
