A less sophisticated version of Iris will be available for driver assistance-type applications at a sub $500 pricing target for larger programs.įor the first time, Luminar is delivering a comprehensive hardware-software architecture for perception by combining its software products in sensor fusion, auto-calibration, tracking, object detection, classification and simulation. Each unit weighs about 2 pounds and can fit into a car’s bumper.Īccording to Luminar, Iris will cost under $1,000 per unit for production vehicles seeking Level 4 autonomy. Luminar said Iris, which is a third of the size of the company’s previous LiDAR unit, is slated to launch commercially on production vehicles beginning in 2022. Luminar also unveiled a sensing and perception platform called Iris that has been in stealth development for the last three years. This raises Luminar’s total amount of funding raised to more than $250 million. Palo Alto, Calif.-based Luminar raised $100 million in funding that will help it scale production of LiDAR sensors for autonomous vehicles.
