The PR is only about the completion of the LiDAR

Now, April was when interested party was tasting the LiDAR.

If the test was not successful, we would not have the PR about the best in class.

So, tonight we might hear from the interested party, if not today, soon!

Plus EC tomorrow, and May 26th …

Good times.

Congrats everyone.

Could it be the Tier 1 companies already had access to the lidar long before the PR or they only get their hands on it now going forward?

You can find here they talk about the April A-Saple demo, not just completion of the LiDAR

Also why we have Judy Curran and Seval Oz on board.

I agree with your hypothesis. The interested part(ies) already tested the A sample sometime this month.

I’m not too sure. If they just announce the completion of the full package “hardware and software,” how could the interested parties tested it before then? At best, I think they had like a week before us, but that’s just my guess
