The price point a curve, has to go down dramatically in order to penetrate the market and reach the low, lower grade caws. We just announced a few a couple of months ago, our second generation lide, which is ino is two, which has a significant cost reduction of 70%. And actually, it's not only a reduction of cost, is also a very significant improvement in the performance. So we see that a as our step forward in order to reach a broader opportunities, and not just the premium cost. Most car makers are not as technical, and are notin, i would say, that don't have the appetite a to develop an autonomous car on their own kind
Lidar and autonomous vehicles have gone hand-in-hand since the DARPA Grand Challenges, propelling the self-driving stack into the modern era. But turning a new kind of sensor into an automotive-grade qualified component that can hold up to real-world road conditions and be made at scale is an entirely different challenge than inventing something new. This week the gang dives into the nature of that challenge with help from Omer Keilaf, CEO of the lidar maker Innoviz Technologies, who explains how this controversial sensor is going from the bleeding edge to a real business.
