@InnovizLiDAR Maybe save the money on all these conferences.
Judging by the results, they don’t seem to be contributing much to the business or to shareholders.
Today I had the privilege of visiting Gothenburg to meet Håkan Samuelsson, the veteran CEO of Volvo Cars who returned to lead the company in 2025 after his earlier decade at the helm. The meeting was arranged by Meir Arnon, our senior automotive advisor and a close friend of Håkan’s, one of the founding figures of Israel’s smart-mobility industry and a longtime connector between Israeli innovation and the world’s leading automakers. Through Meir’s efforts, we’re now sitting down with top leaders across the automotive space, opening doors that would otherwise take years to reach. We toured the factory, held a working meeting in the office, and later shared a wonderful dinner where the conversation turned to the future of the automotive space, the growing need for true L3 autonomy behind the windshield, and why LiDAR is critical to delivering the safety and reliability that vision-only systems can’t guarantee. It was an energizing exchange with someone who has shaped the industry for decades, and a reminder of how much common ground there is between Volvo’s safety heritage and what we’re building at Innoviz.
