MIT researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade LiDAR sensors can detect and track objects around corners. The hardware costs under $50, and the code is already publicly available.
A sensor that can simultaneously capture depth and image data has long been a “holy grail,” Ouster CEO Angus Pacala told TechCrunch.
MicroVision, a solid-state sensor technology company located in Redmond, Wash., says it has designed a solid-state automotive lidar sensor intended to reach production pricing below US $200. That’s less than half of typical prices now, and it’s not ev…
Ouster is paying $35 million along with 1.8 million shares.
An unidentified bidder submitted a Hail Mary offer that was “substantially higher” than the winning bid at auction. Founder Austin Russell has been circling a bid, but it’s not clear he was behind it.
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.
Hesai said it now plans to build as many as 4 million lidar sensors in 2026, up from 2 million, as it tries to corner a market with one fewer player after Luminar’s bankruptcy.
