There are relatively few startups in the autonomous driving industry right now. The big players are really big — Tesla, Google, Uber, Ford, Continental Automotive, and the list goes on.
One notable startup, however, is Quanergy, a mapping and navigation company that specializes in LiDar.
In Forbes, Liane Yvkoff highlights some daring statements the company has recently made:
“You cannot build autonomous cars without LiDar, and anyone who thinks differently, please challenge me.”
This statement about laser radar systems was made by Louay Eldada, CEO of Quanergy, to a crowd at the Connected Car Expo in Los Angeles, Calif., but it seemed directed to Tesla CEO Elon Musk or anyone who may have listened to his press conference in October when he announced the availability of AutoSteer.
I guess Elon Musk is challenging him.
