Ouster, Inc., a leader in sensing and perception for Physical AI, announced today that Rev8, its new family of OS digital lidar sensors, complies with Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act requirements.

The BABA Act establishes a strict domestic procurement preference across all federally-funded infrastructure projects. With this compliance milestone, Ouster’s Rev8 sensors are eligible for deployment by state and local transportation agencies, engineering firms, and system integrators in U.S. government-funded infrastructure upgrades, including intelligent transportation systems (ITS), smart cities, transit networks, and tolling systems.

Ouster’s Rev8 BABA compliance also extends to Ouster BlueCity, a complete traffic management solution combining 3D digital lidar with proprietary AI software. Now with Rev8, Ouster BlueCity provides 500-foot advanced detection and optional native color, delivering unmatched situational awareness for multimodal actuation, alerts, and analytics. Combined with BABA compliance, Ouster BlueCity with Rev8 enables municipalities and transportation agencies to leverage federal funding to modernize their transportation infrastructure.

"As the United States accelerates its modernization of key infrastructure, we are proud to offer BABA compliant lidar with our new Rev8 family," said Ouster CEO Angus Pacala. "By meeting these domestic manufacturing and sourcing standards, we are making it possible for our customers to leverage federal funding to deploy cutting-edge Physical AI and perception technology on American roadways and transit systems."
