LiDAR stocks have been heating up as the promise of "physical AI," Robotaxis, humanoid robotics, and the like are getting fresh attention. Chip Stock Investor discuss Ouster (OUST), a bit about how LiDAR works, Ouster's history via merger with Velodyne, and current cash burn issues. They discuss the price-to-sales ratio, and quick valuation trick using P/S by pretending what OUST's valuation would be today if running at a 20% free cash flow profit (20% margin being a general goal a business like this should target). All of this assumes Ouster can deliver on its financial goals, so Nick and Kasey discuss whether LiDAR belongs in their small bets basket of stocks.Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider: https://chipstockinvestor.com/semi-insider-sign-up/Sign Up For Our Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/b1228c12f284/sign-up-landing-page-short-formSupercharge your analysis with AI!

Ted Tewksbury, CEO, Velodyne Lidar joined Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss Velodyne's path to profitable LiDAR. The conversation begins with Ted discussing why he joined Velodyne now. I joined the company for three very simple reasons, first of all, I believe passionately that LiDAR is going to be an enormous market and it's going to transform virtually every industry as we know it. Second, I believe that Velodyne has the right technologies at the right time to really capitalize on that opportunity. And, thirdly I knew that I had the right set of skills and expertise and grey hair to really help parlay the company's technologies strengths into revenue growth, profitability and shareholder value. – Ted TewksburyIn 2021, Velodyne put in place a strong foundation for growth, including new executives and an upgraded Board of Directors. Now that the foundation has been laid, the company's top priority for 2022 is to accelerate the company's path to profitability. We are doing that by rationalizing our cost structure, while at the same time driving deployments of LiDAR at scale into a wide range of industries. – Ted TewksburyTaking a look at the current state of markets, Velodyne is prioritizing the industrial robotics and the intelligent infrastructure markets as the company focuses on generating profitable revenue today. Overlapping this market is the rapid growth of e-commerce fulfillment centers which inherently relay on industrial robots to move goods from the shelfs to the shipping line. It's not just about sensors. At the end of the day, our customers are solving a business level problem, so we offer the full stack solution, software plus sensors. – Ted TewksburyUnder Ted's leadership as CEO, the company is taking steps to lower the cost of LiDAR to sub $500 by offshoring manufacturing to Thailand. When the sub $500 LiDAR sensor is achieved, growth will be accelerated, especially in the automotive market. The biggest single challenge that faces not only Velodyne, but the entire LiDAR industry is cost. Because the competition is very inexpensive. The competition is radar and camera. – Ted TewksburyIn order to achieve cost reduction, the company has implemented a platform based design (MLA – Micro Lidar Array) strategy. With the company's manufacturing occurring in Thailand and the current delay of 111 days for foods shipped from Asian Ports to the United States, Grayson asks Ted how he is managing the business for supply chain delays. We're taking very proactive steps to alleviate bottlenecks. We are not just sitting idly by and waiting for the macro crisis to subside. First of all, we have lined up multiple sources for critical components, which gives us more flexibility. Second, we have redesigned some of our sensors to use more readily available components.Third, we're judiciously building inventory on long lead-time components. Under those circumstances, that's risky, and so we are requiring non-cancelable, non-returnable purchase orders from our customers. – Ted TewksburyBehind this strategy is Ted's goal of Velodyne becoming the world's first profitable LiDAR company. To achieve this goal, risk has to be managed and this is where the non-cancelable, non-returnable purchase orders strategy into comes into play. Velodyne is showing shrewd business acumen.Wrapping up the conversation, Ted shares his outlook on the economy.

Traditional LiDAR systems require moving parts to operate, making them less cost-effective, robust, and safe. Cibby Pulikkaseril is the Founder and CTO of Baraja, a company that has reinvented LiDAR for self-driving vehicles by using a color-changing laser routed by a prism. After his Ph.D. in lasers and fiber optic communications, Cibby got a job at a telecom equipment company, and that is when he discovered that a laser used in DWDM networks could be used to reinvent LiDAR. By joining this conversation, you'll hear exactly how Baraja's LiDAR technology works and what this means for the future of autonomous vehicles. Cibby also talks about some of the upcoming challenges we will face in the world of self-driving cars and the solutions his innovation offers. Furthermore, Cibby explains what spectrum scan LiDAR can offer the field of robotics more broadly. Key Points From This Episode:Cibby's background in fiber optic communications and what led him to found Baraja.Realizing that a laser used in DWDM networks could be applied to LiDAR. Why Cibby decided that autonomous vehicles (AVs) were a good application for the laser.How the laser used by Baraja can steer a LiDAR beam without any moving parts thus making the system cheaper.Velodyne's contributions and other innovations in the LiDAR space.A description of how the spectrum scan LiDAR works using a color-changing laser routed by a prism.The infinite resolution made possible by colored light and how AI will make use of it.Hazards around the over-proliferation of conventional LiDAR laser and how Baraja's tech gets past this.Other challenges Cibby predicts will exist once AVs start to proliferate.How Baraja's solid-state LiDAR technology will advance other fields of robotics.Cibby's level of involvement in the coding and R&D at Baraja as the CTO.Technical areas that the Baraja team is researching and developing such as homodyne detection.Advice from Cibby for how to innovate in the already cutting-edge space of computer vision. Tweetables:“We started to think, what else could we do with it. The insight was that if we could get the laser light out of the fiber and into free space, then we could start doing LiDAR.” — Cibby Pulikkaseril [0:01:23]“We were excited by this idea that there was going to be a change in the future of mobility and we can be a part of that wave.” — Cibby Pulikkaseril [0:02:13]“We are the inventors of what we call spectrum scan LiDAR that is harnessing the natural phenomenon of the color of light to be able to steer a beam without any moving parts.” — Cibby Pulikkaseril [0:03:37]“We had this insight which is that if you can change the color of light very rapidly, by coupling that into prism-like optics, this can route the wavelengths based on the color and so you can steer a beam without any moving parts.” — Cibby Pulikkaseril [0:03:57]Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Cibby Pulikkaseril on LinkedInBaraja

John Eggert, Automotive Business Development, FLIR Systems joins Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast to discuss how thermal imaging is making roads safer.The conversation begins with John sharing his thoughts on the current state of the autonomous vehicle industry while looking back to 2015 when he first started his career in the industry.[The industry] has become a lot more professional. – John EggertToday, the industry as a whole is spending money more wisely. It's maturing, but certain companies still do not have a path to profitability. Expanding upon this, Grayson and John discuss the economics of the autonomous vehicle industry and properly setting expectations for investors and the public.Diving deeper into the economics discussion, Grayson asks John to talk about his experience of owning a Quiznos franchise in San Fransisco. John shares what he learned and how difficult it was to operate a business in San Fransico.With John's unique experience of having owned and operated a business in San Fransisco, Grayson asks John why the autonomous vehicle industry is determined to launch a service in a city that is extremely unwelcoming to the technology.John explains that the talent pool is currently driving the decision, but that could change in the future as the reality of economics and regulation set in as the companies move to commercialize their services.Could Miami end up becoming the Autonomous Vehicle Capital of North America as companies are fleeing California every single day? Grayson and John discuss why and what is driving the growth of the autonomous vehicle industry in Miami.Looking back on his days at Velodyne, John shares some intimate stories about the early days of LiDAR including a meeting with George Hotz, Founder of Comma AI where he showed him the latest Velodyne LiDAR.The conversation evolves into a discussion about Comma AI and how George Hotz understood the economics of LiDAR. At the prices, George knew that it would be impossible to scale Comma AI with LiDAR due to the cost of LiDAR.LiDAR is one of the key technologies to enable full self-driving. The other technology is thermal imaging.There is no technology in vehicles today more capable of identifying or classifying or detecting a human or any living creature for that matter than thermal imaging. – John EggertJohn goes onto explain the safety benefits of thermal imaging and how this technology can be incorporated into automatic emergency braking systems to save lives. Today, thermal imaging is not included in AEB systems due to the cost.Grayson makes the case that it is not about the cost, it is about saving lives and doing good by society. In March of 2020, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 76% of all 2018 pedestrian fatalities involving vehicles happened after dark.This conversation evolves into a discussion around safety and how Volvo built a brand around safety. Expanding upon brands, Grayson and John discuss Zoox and their relationship with Amazon.Grayson goes on the record to predict that Amazon will launch an Amazon Prime Mobility Tier in the future which will include unlimited Zoox rides.Closing out the conversation, Grayson and John go onto discuss FLIR Systems and the many use cases for thermal imaging around the world.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Robert and Zaira discuss the technology behind self-driving cars in preparation for the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (#CES2018). Listen in to learn more about the basic functions of LIDAR, radar, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras. The most noticeable piece of tech on self-driving cars is usually the LIDAR sensor (Light Detection and Ranging).  Early prototypes for self-driving cars usually included a dome-shaped LIDAR sensor mounted to the roof. These sensors are great at detecting detailed objects at long distances. For example, they can 'see' a dime size object up to a football field away. However, traditional LIDAR sensors are poor performers in bad weather such as rain or fog. And they are also very expensive, although companies like Velodyne are making advances every day to reduce the cost of LIDAR sensors. Next up is radar. These object may not be able to discern an object the size of a dime, but they can sense larger obstacles at longer distances. Most modern cars that have cruise control systems that speed up or slow down with the flow of traffic use some type of radar sensor.  Future autonomous cars will likely continue to use this reliable tech. Ultrasonic and cameras are already widely used in cars today. Ultrasonic sensors help with blind-spot protection and cameras prevent us from backing up over our child's bicycles in the driveway. Future self-driving cars will probably have even more sensors like this than our standard equipped cars of today. With all this self-driving car tech, some people may be wondering, "What is the optimal mix of sensors?" That is a very difficult question to answer and there are varying opinions, but the human is a great example to discuss this question. There are people with less than 20/20 vision that are still valuable members of society, and deaf people can still drive. Likewise, not all sensors may be required for future autonomous and self-driving cars. In January, Robert and Zaira will head to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.  Subscribe on your favorite podcast app in order to listen to future updates about these emerging technologies. Hopefully, Robert and Zaira will be able to get a ride on Lyft's driverless car at the show. Listen in to the episode for more details and don't forget to leave a comment on Facebook.
