So how does that fit in with MVIS news?

Nvidia aims to supply the DRIVE Hyperion system, powered by its Orin “systems on a chip”computing hardware, AI-enabled software and Luminar’s long-range Iris lidar, to automakers starting in 2024, Luminar said at Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia’s annual GTC conference. The platform, which also integrates cameras and radar for additional sensing capability, includes everything needed for mass-production vehicles to operate autonomously in highway driving, Nvidia said earlier this year.

“The goal is to be able to do hands-off, eyes-off driving under select conditions—specifically, on highways and freeways,” Luminar CEO and founder Austin Russell tells Forbes. The DRIVE Hyperion system will also enable better assisted driving and “is absolutely going to be an opportunity as a huge growth driver” for Luminar, he said.

Russell didn’t share financial details of the new supply agreement with Nvidia.
