system that willjust prevent you from hitting the thing right in front of you, but that s simply not the case with these existing camera and radar systems. luminar s laser sensing technology measures how far away objects are, perception software interpreting the data, feeding what it finds into the control software that tells the car how and where to stop. and because it is using lidar, should also workjust as well in low light. you take a look at most of the autonomous vehicle companies that have been out there. they have generally been stuck in this r&d mode, you have these giant roof racks full of sensing systems and a supercomputer in the trunk that s there to run the thing, where the objective is to try to replace the driver altogether, and take a passengerfrom point a to point b in a ride hailing robo taxi like environment. but the thing is what we re doing is not about that, it s about actually making the drivers better, giving them almost superhuman capabilities to be able to a

and this is despite now the substantial majority of new vehicles being produced with assisted driving capabilities. the reality is, you would think it would be easy to build system that willjust prevent you from hitting the thing right in front of you, but that s simply not the case with these existing camera and radar systems. luminar s laser sensing technology measures how far away objects are, perception software interpreting that data, feeding what it finds into the control software that tells the car how and where to stop. and because it is using lidar, should also workjust as well in low light. you take a look at most of the autonomous vehicle companies that have been out there. they have generally been stuck in this r&d mode, you have these giant roof racks full of sensing systems and a supercomputer in the trunk that s there to run the thing, where the objective is to try to replace the driver altogether, and take a passengerfrom point a to point b in a ride hailing robo taxi l
