Got the first demo of @luminartech's production grade Proactive Safety LiDAR system. Narrated by Luminar CEO Austin Russell. Chilling to see this demo of a child running across the street, in dark, occluded by a car. At $1,000 per car, cannot imagine why every mfg doesn't offer.

Here is the same video of the @luminartech tech from another video POV. This is the LiDAR enabled car automatically braking. $LAZR #CES #CES2022

Here’s me driving the Tesla Model Y on the left. It, of course, doesn’t have LiDAR. On the right is the @luminartech enabled vehicle. $LAZR
