Dr. Jun Pei founded Cepton in 2016 with the vision of enabling safe, autonomous transportation for everyone. Hands-free, driveway to driveway – lidar promises to make that a reality, but only through scale. Focused on making safety the standard for all levels of autonomy, Cepton is dedicated to commercializing lidar for every consumer vehicle, not just the luxury class. By supporting General Motors’s Ultra Cruise program, Cepton is aimed at bringing the benefits of lidar technology to every American household in as soon as two years. What’s Cepton’s journey to the industry’s largest ADAS lidar design award, and what does it mean for the future of mobility? We will hear from Jun his take on lidar’s unique capabilities of adding certainty to perception, key considerations behind lidar scalability and the timeless principles underlying Cepton’s seemingly simple lidar approach.
