Cepton
Technologies, Inc., a provider of 3D LiDAR solutions for automotive,
industrial, security, and mapping applications, today announced a
partnership with Dataspeed Inc., an industry leading autonomous vehicle
(AV) solution provider, to bring Cepton’s high resolution, long-range
and compact LiDAR solutions to AV developers. Through the partnership
with Cepton, Dataspeed’s customers will now have access to Cepton LiDAR
technology for the development and deployment of autonomous applications.
The compact design of Cepton’s LiDAR sensors enables them to be
integrated directly into the body of a vehicle, providing Dataspeed’s
customers with advanced 3D perception without impacting a vehicle’s
design. At the AutoSens Detroit event on May 14-16, 2019, Dataspeed will
be showcasing a Chrysler Pacifica outfitted with Cepton’s LiDAR
technology and Dataspeed’s highly engineered by-wire system.
“Dataspeed is a leading provider of by-wire systems with worldwide
installations,” said Mitch Hourtienne, Cepton Director of Business
Development. “Our partnership will make it easy for the global community
to develop advanced perception capabilities for the next generation of
autonomous vehicles.”
“Cepton’s LiDAR technology stands out with its compact design that
integrates directly into the body of a vehicle,” said Paul Fleck,
Founder and CEO of Dataspeed. “This partnership aligns with our
long-term objective of supporting large scale AV deployment with
production viable technologies.”
Built on the company’s patented Micro Motion Technology (MMTTM)
platform, Cepton’s LiDAR delivers unrivaled performance and resolution
at a low cost. Cepton also recently unveiled its Vista-EdgeTM
LiDAR Evaluation Kit, a plug-and-play device with all necessary software
and tools pre-installed to view and analyze the LiDAR’s 3D point cloud
of data. Cepton’s LiDAR solutions provide 3D perception with a range of
200 meters and a 120-degree field of view, powering all levels of
autonomous applications at an accessible price point.
