Ouster Demos REV7 Sensor Using Cyngn DriveMod Platform at CES 2023

Ouster Inc., a provider of high-resolution digital lidar sensors, announced this week that it has signed a strategic customer agreement with Cyngn, a developer of autonomous driving software solutions for industrial and commercial applications.

Ouster’s new REV7 digital lidar sensors will be used as part of Cyngn’s DriveMod platform, which is used to make standard industrial vehicles autonomous.

Ouster is showcasing Cyngn’s DriveMod platform, outfitted with a REV7 sensor, on a Columbia Stockchaser cargo vehicle at Booth 6541 at CES 2023 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center this week.

Companies highlight the appeal of retrofitting

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

“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,” said Cyngn CEO, Lior Tal. “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,” said 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.”
