Cepton, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) Remains Committed to Delivering Enhanced Safety for All Drivers; Works with Top 10 Global Automotive OEMs to Commercialize Lidar

Sep 14, 2022

  • Evidence suggests that current ADAS solutions relying on cameras for perception are not yet safe enough due to camera’s limited capabilities of providing accurate perception data 24/7

  • Cepton remains committed to deploying lidar in all vehicles with the goal of making the driving experience safer and more efficient for all road participants; expands collaboration with Koito to extend beyond its current OEM series production program

“If consumers fail to understand the current capabilities of automated systems and demand the right combination of technology in the vehicles, they may be risking their own lives,” said Jun Pei, the co-founder and CEO of Cepton (NASDAQ: CPTN), a world-leading lidar provider, in a recent article he authored for Forbes (https://ibn.fm/PHdDX).
