ICYMI: Great interview from Lake Fusion Technologies CTO Dr. Thomas Münsterer highlighting Luminar's LiDAR technology and breaking down how advances in range and weight for the automotive space are now helping enable airborne applications. Watch the full interview here: https://t.co/bNBTWB0KEc
Congrats to @beepAVsolutions and @JTAFLA on launching the nation’s first fully autonomous public transit system in Jacksonville, FL! 🚍 Beep’s autonomous vehicles customized for Jacksonville and equipped with Luminar LiDAR are now serving real passengers — a huge step forward for autonomy 👏
Today, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority launched NAVI (Neighborhood Autonomous Vehicle Innovation).
This groundbreaking service is seamlessly integrating autonomous vehicles into Jacksonville’s mobility network, making it easier, faster, and smarter to move around our city.
We’re proud to be part of the nation’s first public transportation autonomous vehicle service, right here in the city of Jacksonville, Florida.
Find a NAVI station near you and experience the future of mobility today. #JTA #NAVI #InnovationInMotion #U2C #AutonomousVehicles #BSIC #Beep #BalfourBeattyFL
ICYMI: Luminar’s Iris LiDAR is being used to help advance autonomous vehicles for the U.S. Army—check out the story from CNBC here: https://t.co/oc2czAdtXn
Just over a month into his new role, Luminar CEO Paul Ricci shares what drew him to Luminar, what changes lie ahead, and where he sees the biggest opportunities for the company’s future: https://t.co/0sUTn8uYVs
Last week at EVS 38, we teamed up with @volvocars to give attendees an immersive look at the world through Luminar’s LiDAR 👏
Using a VR headset inside the Volvo ES90, attendees flew through a live 3D point cloud captured by our LiDAR, experiencing its precision and depth firsthand.
The ES90 is Volvo Car’s second global model with Luminar built into the roofline, following the groundbreaking EX90, the world's first global production vehicle to standardize LiDAR.
A big thank you to all who experienced the demo and support our mission to help eliminate vehicle accidents today and enable autonomy in the future 🚘
Kicking off June with another design award for our next generation LiDAR, Luminar Halo, courtesy of SF Design Week 👏 Luminar Halo was recognized for its "ground-breaking design and commitment to thought leadership in meeting the needs of a positive future for society."
Luminar Halo unlocks the potential to make millions of consumer vehicles nearly uncrashable, democratizing safety for all. Learn more about Luminar Halo and our efforts toward this goal here: https://t.co/WwoN9CEgtB
ICYMI: @NissanMotor has been testing their autonomous driving vehicles equipped with @luminartech LiDAR on public roads in Japan. Nissan plans to have 20 test vehicles in the Yokohama area in the next couple of years, with the goal of reaching Level Four (no human involvement) by 2029 or 2030.

The same Luminar LiDAR used in the Volvo EX90 and ES90 is now being used to help helicopter pilots detect hazards during flight 👏🚁👏
Powerlines and tower guidelines are particularly difficult for helicopter pilots to spot with their eyes alone. Lake Fusion Technologies GmbH (LFT) has developed a situational awareness system that uses two Iris sensors to help pilots identify these hazards in advance and avoid a potentially dangerous situation. LFT is currently conducting test flights of their new system—get an overview of their tech and how they’re using Iris here: https://t.co/PK6P1sejP2
@NissanMotor's next generation autonomous driving technology is launching in fiscal year 2027, featuring their Ground Truth Perception technology and AI Driver software from @wayve_ai . @luminartech was selected back in April 2022 to provide LiDAR for Nissan’s Ground Truth Perception technology—in part because Luminar’s LiDAR architecture (1550nm, narrow divergence, linear time of flight) enables detection of the hardest targets with high fidelity.

Today we announced the formation of the Luminar Automotive Council (LAC)--a new team of executive advisors with former heads of Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Jaguar Land Rover and Ford, as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The LAC brings together veteran industry leaders to help inform Luminar’s growth strategy and advance its global mission to enhance auto safety. Read more about the LAC here: https://t.co/qibmBGo1UY
