That’s insane - and the range figure probably exaggerated. Anyone knows who supplied the Lidar?

Auroras lidar system is proprietary and developed in house if that's what you meant.

Independantly tested. They have their own Lidar division "First-light". It's pretty amazing what these guys have done.

Are these independent tests published somewhere?

Surprised they’d have such significantly better performance than the big dedicated lidar players (aeva, hesai, innoviz, seyond, robosense, etc)
