Lidar maker Luminar accused of using image of rival’s chip in investor conference
Luminar, a leading maker of laser lidar for self-driving and semi-automated vehicles, is accused of passing off a next-generation chip design created by a rival as its own technology after showing an image of the processor at a recent investor conference and in materials on its website. Lidwave, the Israeli startup making the claim, says it plans to take legal action over the matter.
