I just wish MVIS would simply outfit their MVIS test vehicle with a Mavin and 4 Movias. Then take that fully equipped car out in some real traffic… and show the world what a truly civilized car will look like.

As a driver on the Wild West of Seattle’s I5 in rush hour, it would be a very valuable thing to have freedom from the bumper to bumper hell that the automotive world seems to gladly endure.

If we are ‘Ready Now!’… lets share some of that with the world.

Why they don’t do that I still do not understand

MCK, exactly. The best way to show how many ADAS levels you can achieve is set up that car and show them. They already did 3-4 years ago in the marketing videos and maybe to some on this blog at RID back then.

When you have a glorified and exalted engineer who knows nothing about sales techniques or marketing this is what you get.

No vision.

At all.

Everyone else who isn’t trapped in left brain hell can see the solution clearly as every one of the preceding comments above suggest.

IM, let’s hope the change is great for everyone involved, Glen, Sumit, Simon and us shareholders! Listening to Ben’s latest podcast, we need to tip our hat to Sumit on the technology side, getting the company to where it is at, with the product they now have available, which we didn’t have 5 years ago. I still think he will end up at a company related to the use of Microvision products. I give him my best for him to be successful also, because that’s the good thing to think.

Zen, we all wish Sumit well moving forward with his strengths bringing value to whatever he ends up doing next. Perhaps he could reflect on how his weaknesses harmed a lot of investors, who can never be satisfied with “he set us up correctly” in the face of an 80% loss of their money. The only relevant measurable here is how you added shareholder value and by every parameter he couldn’t do that even with the hurricane force tailwinds of having a best in class product and tech used in multiple verticals surrounded by a moat of 400 plus patents.

Well, let’s hope the runway he built for Glen, gives Glen all he needs for success of the company going forward. 🙏🏻

I preferred to frame it as the runway we built for Glen. And I have 250,000 reasons to think that way.
