Ouster launches BlueCity lidar system for enhanced vehicle and city safety
Ouster unveils BlueCity lidar

Ouster unveiled its BlueCity lidar solution, which aims to address the challenge of vehicles only reacting to visible obstacles. The company states that its system can detect pedestrians stepping out from behind trucks or around blind corners, offering capabilities beyond traditional sensors.

The same technology used by cities for signal actuation and safety is being made available to connected vehicles, potentially improving traffic management and pedestrian protection.

The company recently expanded its BlueCity lidar network in Utah, extending coverage to nearly 300 intersections as detailed in a prior update. Shares fell 2.9% to $42.13 on the day of that announcement. Ouster earlier introduced a Studio feature that enables instant generation of 3D maps from lidar files, removing the need for external SLAM processing, according to another report.
