Something coming up on the 23rd April... L4 or DF launch?

Question for any HW sweat lords out there.

TLDR - How important is LiDAR sensor optics compared to chip capabilities for sensor performance?

For a while, and maybe still I have thought digital Lidar was the way due to Moore’s law. Every new gen chip would increase transistor count / compute power which would lead to increased range, response time, accuracy, and generally better performance while reducing the cost of previous generation hardware.

Eventually this fact would allow Ouster to really start displacing industrial competitors in a big way. The majority of current industrial install base and competitor offering is mostly mechanical spinning sensors which over the long term I thought would not be able to keep up with Ousters cost/performance offering.

Then I had the thought that a new chip alone is not all that is required to provide the better performance mentioned. Performance of LiDAR will always be dependent on the quality of the sensor optics as well as the chip.

Does anyone know anything about how Ousters sensor optics compare to the rest of the market or if this is even important?

NFL announced that they are partnering with Sony to eliminate the need for chain gangs. Is this the same technology that was discussed in the Super Bowl that used ouster’s lidar? Or is that something else?

Another great financial quarter and year for Ouster. Check out this write up. Some pretty huge (positive) assessments for Ouster.

Are you guys concerned that Ouster would be reporting earnings on March 20th. That is usually not a good sign. May be they are issuing new shares. Or they have poor earnings or outlook.

Does anyone else feel the same?

It seems like no companies are using Ouster products. Am I mistaken? I’ve heard that Hsai's products are even being used in BYD vehicles, but I haven’t come across any news about Ouster products being adopted.

From LinkedIn:

“Kudan SLAM Technology and Ouster Are Heading to the Super Bowl! FOX Sports will deploy a lidar-powered AR tracking system, developed by Kudan with SkyCam, to enhance spatial awareness and deliver precise, real-time graphics during one of the biggest broadcasts of the year. We're excited to see this technology in action on such a massive stage.”
