Democratizing Advanced Safety for All
Luminar is a global automotive technology company ushering in a new era of vehicle safety and autonomy. Over the past decade, we have been building our light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor from the chip-level up, which is expected to meet the demanding performance, safety, reliability and cost requirements to enable next-generation safety and autonomous capabilities for passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as other adjacent markets.
The global automotive and mobility sector is increasingly focused on safety and autonomy, specifically next-generation advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, and highway autonomy for passenger and commercial vehicles. Our LiDAR technology provides increased situational awareness in a broad range of driving environments through improved and higher confidence detection and planning at all vehicle speeds.
From its inception, Luminar has taken the approach of building technology to enhance, rather than replace, the driver in the vehicle. Our unique focus on enabling Level 2-3 ADAS/autonomous capabilities for consumer production vehicles rather than Level 4-5 autonomy for robotaxi or other applications has resonated within the industry and translated into major commercial wins with leading global automakers.
Beyond sensor hardware, our product portfolio has expanded to include in-development perception and decision-making software, as well as high definition “3D” mapping that we anticipate will monetize the ecosystem of improved safety and autonomy created by our LiDAR.
