99% of LiDAR production is just 4 Chinese companies. Yes low-range systems are already at the $150-300 range, but MicroVision is promising to produce this in the Washington.
replyBasically they're saying "we can catch up to China by 2028/2029" ||so please subsidize us||
>Cepton Technologies offers Nova [0], Nova-Ultra [1] sensors both at a sub-$100 price point
replyWhere? How? I'm only seeing the Nova on ebay for between $4000 and $5000.
Cepton primarily operates B2B, as B2C demand for specialized LIDAR like this is pretty low. Anything you find on eBay is either a leftover dev kit or salvage. This is pretty much the case for MicroVision, Ouster etc.
