A new leading bidder has appeared in the Luminar bankruptcy case: Redmond, Washington-based MicroVision, which beat out Quantum Computing Inc.’s bid by $5 million.
The agreement comes two weeks after Luminar accused its billionaire founder of dodging information requests, as it evaluates potential legal claims.
The bid comes from Quantum Computing Inc., which already lined up to buy Luminar’s semiconductor division. Luminar founder Austin Russell has also expressed interest.
The Luminar founder claims he has been cooperative.
