Hm, what's IV's play here?

Do they mean Bellevue, WA or Belleview, FL?

The former. It's only the IEEE so they can't be expected to spell or fact check.

Cornering the easy part of vehicle autonomy. Capture the sensor profit, make everyone else continue the hard ML slog. “Sell shovels.”

#6Continental, the big European auto parts company, has a practical solid state LIDAR.[1] It's the Advanced Scientific Concepts flash LIDAR technology, which works well but cost too much when ASC was making it by hand in Santa Barbara, CA. What they don't have is a car company ready to buy enough units to make volume production worthwhile. In the meantime, they're selling a few units to commercial drone operators.[2]

I can't speak to profitability of competitors like velodyne and their existing lidar tech
but isn't it possible that the risk of waiting for sales volume to reach a certain threshold, thereby creating opportunities for other companies to bring their tech up to the same standard, outweighs the risk of selling the units below cost to capture marketshare in the short term?

Resolution of the one listed at Conti is about 9x lower than what lumotive is claiming, but at about double the sampling rate; though flash acquisition has advantages versus scanning acquisition.

If I hadn't seen an Animats comment here, I would have copy pasted it from your history just to beat you to it.
I checked out of curiosity -- you've got at least 35 posts that directly reference Continental and their Flash LIDAR based on tech from ASC that they're going to build in volume eventually. It's a valid analysis, but why post it every time LIDAR is referenced?

Because marketing.
