May Mobility has picked Ouster to provide four lidar sensors per vehicle for its next generation of self driving shuttles.

Founded in 2017, May Mobility specialise in shared-ride autonomous vehicles, and has provided more than 270,000 rides to date.

Over the past several years, May Mobility has built prototypes with a wide variety of lidar sensor options before deciding on Ouster’s sensors for both short range and wide field of view and mid-range lidar placements. The May Mobility team decided to use Ouster’s digital lidar sensors for their performance, field-tested reliability, and scalable pricing for larger deployments.

May Mobility plans to roll out large scale deployments of its self driving shuttles in Arlington, Texas, and Higashi-Hiroshima, Japan, in 2021.

“As we expand our reach and evolve our shuttle service, it is important for May Mobility to work with outstanding partners that deliver technology solutions that help us ensure a safe experience. We added Ouster’s sensors to our sensor suite for their combination of resolution, range, and reliability and look forward to working with them on upcoming launches,” said Edwin Olson, Founder and CEO of May Mobility.

“May Mobility is a leader in autonomous mobility, and Ouster is excited to help power their next stage of growth. Autonomous shuttles can make cities, campuses, airports, and other congested areas easier and safer to get around for everyone,” said Angus Pacala, co-founder and CEO of Ouster.
