This will enable the scalable commercialization of driver-in technology today and accelerate ourĬustomers’ path to full autonomy tomorrow,” said David Liu, CEO and Co-Founder at Plus. Will enable PlusDrive to achieve new heights in sensing at further distances and at highway speeds. “The partnership between Luminar and Plus unlocks the tremendous business value of next-generation safety and highly automated driving systems for vehicle manufacturers and fleets alike. This provides a step-function improvement for ADAS systems while enabling the necessary foundation for fully autonomous driving.

This represents as much as 20 seconds of visibility ahead at highway speeds to ensure even fully-loaded trucks can smoothly come to a safe Lidar is capable of seeing as far as 600 meters ahead. Ultra long-range visibility is critical for trucking for both safety and comfort, and Luminar’s The stringent performance, robustness, and reliability requirements for class 8 commercial trucks. 'Trucking is a key emerging market for Luminar, and the same products and technology weve successfully executed on for our production consumer vehicle programs are beginning to be deployed on commercial vehicles as well,' said Luminar Founder and CEO Austin Russell. In addition to production consumer vehicles, Iris uniquely meets Luminar’s Iris lidar is a first-of-its kind, automotive grade sensing solution that enables high-performance, long-range detections. “We see Plus as a new strategic partner for us to enable enhanced safety and autonomous capabilities for productionĬommercial vehicles at even greater scale, in light of their commercial success with some of the largest companies in the industry.” “Trucking is a key emerging market for Luminar, and the same products and technology we’ve successfully executed on for our production consumer vehicle programs are beginning to be deployed onĬommercial vehicles as well,” said Luminar Founder and CEO Austin Russell.
