“Ouster’s Rev8 sensor family integrates color directly into LiDAR data points. The flagship OS1 Max model detects objects up to 200 meters away at standard reflectivity and 500 meters under ideal conditions.”
Color in the LiDAR point cloud itself is a real upgrade over fusing a separate camera feed in software. Calibration drift between two sensors has been a quiet source of autonomy bugs for years. The 500-meter range is the marketing number. Standard reflectivity at 200 meters is the one that actually matters.
