Our Investment Thesis

Our vision is to democratize vehicle safety and eradicate vehicle accidents through enhancing, not replacing, the driver. We are poised to make this vision a reality.

Market Opportunity

We address a massive and growing technology market for next-generation vehicle safety (SAE Level 2+) and autonomy (Level 3+).

We serve a variety of end markets, including Consumer Vehicles, Trucking, Robotaxi, and Adjacent Markets.

Commercial Momentum

Leading Technology

Our breakthrough LiDAR has been designed to usher in a new era of vehicle safety and autonomy. Our LiDAR is the first to be integrated and standardized on a global production vehicle.

Luminar’s technology has been built from the chip-level up and enables automakers to achieve advanced safety and autonomous capabilities on vehicles at low and high speeds, day and night, that today’s camera/RADAR-based systems alone cannot.
