In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross explains why he owns OUST and how digital lidar gives robots, drones, and autonomous machines the ability to “see.” Explore his investment thesis as artificial intelligence expands into factories, farms, warehouses, and smart infrastructure. The conversation covers Ouster’s Velodyne merger, revenue growth, Rev8 native color lidar, and support for the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem. Ross examines autonomous agriculture through John Deere’s GUSS subsidiary, drone inspection, and industrial automation, explaining why he believes Ouster’s opportunity extends well beyond self-driving cars. Ross also breaks down the OUST stock pullback, capital raises, shareholder dilution, competition, and the path toward profitability. Learn which customer deployments, software opportunities, margins, and earnings trends he’s watching—and why he remains bullish while acknowledging the risks.
