The start-up SOS LAB has raised eight million US dollars for its lidar development.
The Lidar is still considered an important sensor in autonomous driving, even if the companies increasewho try it without – but what not always fully successful.

Investments in technology and related companies continue, and recently SOS LAB from South Korea raised $ 8 million in Series A. Despite the corona-related decline in productivity and the reduced enthusiasm in the industry, the company plans to commercialize its lidar.
It is a solid-state lidar that you want to offer cheaply in mass production. The MEMS technology is used for this. The Lidar ML-1 was on the last one CES presented. You could already be a partner ON Semiconductor to back up. In addition, manufacturers have already aroused interest. Commercialization is supposed to 2021 kick off.
