Cepton to showcase new Vista-X120 high-res, long-range Lidar at Frankfurt Show

Cepton Technologies has announced its newest Vista lidar sensor, the Vista-X120, an industry-leading lidar solution for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous applications.

Vista-X120 has a 120deg horizontal field of view (FOV), 0.15deg angular resolution and a maximum detection range of up to 200 metres at 10 percent reflectivity, delivering a best-in-class lidar solution ideal for ADAS and autonomous vehicles (AVs), and well suited for smart machines used in other autonomous applications.

Powered by Cepton’s patented Micro Motion Technology (MMT), Vista-X120 builds upon the existing Vista-P60 product that is shipping to customers worldwide, across a range of markets. Cepton says this frictionless beam-steering architecture also makes Vista-X120 highly rugged and durable, making it an ideal choice for high-performance, high-reliability applications.

The Vista-X120’s compact, embeddable design makes it possible to seamlessly integrate the sensor into vehicles and smart machines. By leveraging a common core technology optimised for power and cost, the Vista-X120 enables high volume price points in the hundreds of dollars for mass market automotive applications.

Moreover, Vista-X120 can be combined with Cepton’s Helius lidar perception software, enabling advanced object detection and perception capabilities for autonomous applications.

“With its robust construction, its high resolution, wide field of view and long range, the Vista-X120 is the next logical step in the evolution of Cepton’s roadmap and introduces an exciting, power-efficient lidar that is ideal for mass market ADAS and autonomous applications,” said Dr. Jun Pei, CEO of Cepton.

Cepton is exhibiting its lidar solutions at IAA 2019 in Frankfurt from September 10 to September 15. Cepton will be giving live demos of its lidar sensors at Booth #B3415 in hall 5.0.
