Luminar announced an extensive expansion of its partnership with Mercedes-Benz to safely enable enhanced automated driving capabilities across a broad range of next-generation production vehicle lines as part of the automaker’s next-generation lineup.
Luminar’s Iris entered its first series production in October 2022 and the company’s Mercedes-Benz program has successfully completed the initial phase and the associated milestones. Iris is a high performance, long-range lidar sensor that enables advanced safety and autonomy for car, commercial trucks and more.
“Mercedes’ standards for vehicle safety and performance are among the highest in the industry, and their decision to double down on Luminar reinforces that commitment,” said Austin Russell, Founder and CEO of Luminar. “We are now set to enable the broadest scale deployment of this technology in the industry. It’s been an incredible sprint so far, and we are fully committed to making this happen – together with Mercedes-Benz.
“In a first step we have introduced a Level 3 system in our top line models. Next, we want to implement advanced automated driving features in a broader scale within our portfolio,” said Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes Benz Group AG and Chief Technology Officer, Development & Procurement. “I am convinced that Luminar is a great partner to help realize our vision and roadmap for automated and accident-free driving.
Luminar was founded in 2012 by Austin Russell, who is also CEO at Luminar. Luminar says it built a new type of lidar from the chip-level up and therefore created a lidar sensor that unlocks advanced safety and autonomy for automakers. Luminar’s website says its Iris has the most sensitive, highest dynamic range indium gallium arsenide detector in the world when paired with its receiver Application-Specific Integrated Circuit chips.
