Applied Intuition is on a roll, and with awesome lidar it's no surprise! They come from a foundation in virtual environment simulation, and it's exciting to see their autonomy development emerging. I'm not usually a defense applications guy, but the potential here for reducing human casualties during conflicts is enormous.

Situational awareness and global positioning for vehicles of all types is entering a new era thanks to lidar industrialization advances like what we've done at Luminar. In this example from software developer Lake Fusion Technologies, a helicopter pilot (be that human or AI) can have direct understanding of ground topology and collision threats including power lines and guide wires - day or night. I did my first Ask Me Anything (AMA) with Luminar's Investor Reddit group, great questions from passionate people!

This piece combines interviews with myself (representing Luminar) and spokespeople from Rivian and LeddarTech. The topic is architectural methods of sensor fusion in automotive safety & autonomy. Honestly, I did not care for how the article came together but it still holds some interesting topics for those not deep down in the details of this field. Career & personal highlights of optical science professionals to inspire the next generation to appreciate and consider the exciting science and technology enabled by light. I encourage you to check out the other amazing professionals highlighted in fields as divers as planetary science, brain mapping, virtual reality, and biomimicry of butterfly wings! https://www.dayoflight.org/ A fun on-track interview I did looking at and discussing Luminar's full stack sensory perception capability - from optical semiconductors through lidar and perception all the way to collision avoidance. A summary of Luminar's CES 2022 demonstrations including data examples and an "anatomy of emergency maneuvers" illustration. Article from Mashable
