The fully electric successor to Volvo Cars' XC90, to be unveiled in 2022, is set to come with Luminar's Iris lidar system, the company said.
"Going from a select highway pilot option to Luminar powering all next generation Volvo flagship cars as standard will kick off this new safety paradigm, serving as the catalyst for what we've been calling Proactive Safety. Volvo thinks life saving technology shouldn't be optional, and we couldn't agree more," said Austin Russell, Luminar Founder and CEO.
Lazr is at $24.34 currently. It has bee trading in the range of $9.95- $47.80 in the past 52 weeks.
