Lidar Fast Becoming the Future of Vehicle Safety

Lidar, a technology previously associated with fully autonomous driving, is taking an increasingly important role in vehicle safety in ADAS. In fact, consumer vehicles can start benefiting from lidar today, with their superior perception capabilities proven to help significantly reduce both the frequency and severity of accidents.

Lidar 101: Understanding Lidar Technology Choices And Their Implications

Choices of lidar technologies can be evaluated based on how their key functions (transmission, detection, imaging) are achieved and how they balance the three key pillars for mass-market deployment — namely, performance, reliability and cost.

Low Cost to Remove Barrier to Lidar's Wide Adoption

Dr. Jun Pei explains why Cepton has focused on high-performance, affordable mass-market ADAS lidars since 2016, and how the company's unique MMT approach enables Cepton lidars to deliver the promise.

Demystifying Lidar Pricing - Part 2

Second in a series on lidar pricing, that delves into the role of the market in constraining pricing and the tradeoff between performance expectations and cost.

Demystifying Lidar Pricing - Part 3

Final part of a series on lidar pricing, that provides a framework for lidar cost reduction.

New roles for lidar in autonomy’s lower levels

Once considered a sensor necessary only in fully automated vehicles, lidar is increasingly being adopted for ADAS to enabled the next generation of safety and autonomous features.

Automation and the problem of AI bias

Dr. Jun Pei, CEO and co-founder of Cepton, discusses protecting privacy and minimizing AI bias in an automated world, and why lidar technology might hold the key.
