Abstract
Have you ever driven on the freeway and come across an object in the road? Whether it's a piece of lumber fallen from a truck or a tire, you have to make a decision about how to safely avoid collision and damage to your vehicle. With Luminar's Lidar technology, the car can make that decision for you. We spoke with Aaron Jefferson, Vice President of Product at Luminar, to discuss how today's Lidar systems are designed to mitigate and avoid accidents and promote highway safety. Through its partnership with Volvo, Luminar continues a heritage of safety and trust with high performance Lidar technology. Discover how Volvo and Luminar are solving for those highway situations - even through darkness and inclement weather - why Lidar is the third element necessary to safely get to your destination and how Jefferson uses his voice within the organization to inspire the next generation of engineers.
