#CES2023 - Ouster & Cyngn to Deliver Lidar-Powered Autonomy Technology to Industrial Vehicles

Ouster, a provider of high-resolution digital lidar sensors, has signed a strategic agreement with Cyngn, a developer of innovative autonomous driving software solutions for industrial and commercial applications. The deal will deliver autonomous solutions for both existing and new industrial vehicles.

The agreement will add Ouster’s new REV7 digital lidar sensors to the Cyngn DriveMod platform.

Ouster and Cyngn aim to provide autonomous solutions to address challenges common to many industrial organisations, such as labor shortages, costly safety incidents, and increased consumer demand for e-commerce requiring more automation.

DriveMod is an autonomy integration package that enables the conversion of standard industrial vehicles into fully autonomous ones by utilising advanced lidar sensors, hardware components, and AI software.

Ouster will showcase Cyngn’s DriveMod platform, outfit with a REV7 sensor, on a Columbia Stockchaser cargo vehicle at CES 2023 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Cyngn CEO, Lior Tal, say: “Cyngn’s DriveMod was developed to support faster, more cost-effective deployments of industrial autonomy solutions, thereby solving major scalability and adoption issues faced by companies interested in reaping the benefits of greater levels of automation. DriveMod simplifies what can otherwise be a complex installation process, and requires high-performing sensor technology such as Ouster lidar sensors, which maximizes the vehicle’s self-driving capabilities.”

“Cyngn’s platform is streamlining the adoption of autonomous technology for industrial fleets by making it simpler to add autonomy, powered by Ouster digital lidar, to existing and new material handling vehicles,” adds Nate Dickerman, Ouster’s President of Field Operations. “We’re excited to support them as they increase the number of autonomous solutions across the supply chain, and thrilled that Cyngn will have their DriveMod system on display at CES in the Ouster booth.”

Ouster is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.
