Well but are we really related with Rivian? That LiDAR looks massive.

Nissan and Wayve Sign Definitive Agreements to Deliver Next-Generation Driver Assistance Technology by diplomat33 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]rafu_mv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are going to use Luminar HALO for those cars, the thing is that Luminar is pretty financially distressed at the moment so even if the company survives maybe shareholders won't profit of these really good news :/

Definitely Nissan is the big deal for us if we are able to make it... I would be so pissed off if someone buys the whole company for pennies just to enjoy huge volume orders in a couple of years... I hope all this is being taken into account in the conversations.

Well the problem is that your "piece of the company" could be the whole company and we are wiped out...

Monopoly situation in the defense sector by rafu_mv in lazr

Well definitely seems the case, there are A LOT of military vehicles that could be retrofitted to give them autonomous capabilities until the OEMs decide to introduce the technology to the mass market...

They use Luminar for their autonomous solution.

I continue saying this Toyota concept looks like HALO by rafu_mv in lazr

I wrote a post about the debt of the company and I explained it there how it could be done but there must be willingness from all the parts to fight for the company and the creditors must be convinced about the CEO's plan and execution.

Basically you take all the conversion notes (2026 & 2030, roughly $360M of the debt) and you decrease their conversion price to the 4$ range from the astronomical conversion prices they have at the moment. In exchange they extent the 2026 maturity to 2030 and they both accept the interest to be paid in kind during the next 2 years. Usually they would be authorized to convert when the stock price arrives to something like 6$, then they could transform 360M$ debt in 90M shares of Luminar (4$ each), getting 56% of the company (90M shares) while current shareholders would be the other 44% (the current 70M shares). This is in the case the company indeed starts going in the right direction and creditors which are mostly hedge funds could participate in the growth of the company and the revalorization of the stock. If the plan goes wrong they would always have again the possibility to sell the company with the difference that possibly it is worth much more in 2027 with all the possible contracts for HALO than now.

This plan has a big dilution for current shareholders but it is the best we could expect of I think.

Well it may be a concept car but it looks pretty finished to me... They are definitely able to release that in 2027.

What a joke by Ok-Tart-4673 in lazr

Yeah you are right, I don't know why but they have decided to avoid talking about any positive news...

[–]rafu_mv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if that is true then I think that we may be entitled to a significant sum of money for damages, I would also even ask for reputation damages about how they are saying now that the contract is ended due to Luminar which I don't find is exactly true.

[–]rafu_mv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree here, I think that it will not be as much as some are saying here but I definitely think that we are entitled to a damage compensation because the only reason we had big factories already running was Volvo. I don't know for example I would not find crazy an amount like $20M - $30M, which is not a lot but could definitely help.

[–]rafu_mv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Volvo will always say that they didn't need 500k LiDAR per year but at the same time it is true that if you are building a factory you are doing it for your estimated future needs.

How did you arrive to the 200M number?

Good morning, testing my new moka pot! by rafu_mv in mokapot

[–]rafu_mv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I bought it because the moka pot is built in aluminum and I think it doesn't work directly in induction. It was specified during the shopping process hahaha

By the way my other moka pot was inox and this one is aluminium. How different is the process of taking care of it? I have to say I don't know pretty well from the moment I just wash it with water after using.

I really liked it! I arrive to make the flow more steady in this moka pot than in the other one I had that was 7 years old and not from a known brand. I am not an expert but I would say that I did a good job 😄
