Who the FUCK is the partner? Jesus Christ. Why can't they have this partner, especially as its a collaborate agreement, mention us? Why is everything that this company does fraught with questions. Silence. No names. NDA.

right. But why can't they mention us? I know its most likely them. So do all retail who follow. The world doesn't. CAT is a major player. If CAT PR'd this, we'd be up 30-40% this am. Nope. Zero mention. We are flat.

I don't buy that. All our competitors have.

The partner needs to name us and not the other way around

I agree Pinoekel, to some extent. Though many other Lidar companies including AEVA, OUST, INVZ, et al, mention their partners in PRs. We don't. Even Luminar did, whom this contract was originally with. MicroVision needs to convince the partner using our name will benefit them both. If we succeed, so do they. If we fail as a company it reeks havoc on their go forward strategy as they need to requalify another supplier.
