On Tuesday, the news that investors had been waiting for was announced when Microvision reported its progress with regards to its Long Range Lidar (LRL) sensor module technology in automobiles. The technology, which is formally called MEMS Dynamic Scanning LRL, has been tested to detect objects at a range of 200 meters as well as accuracy regardless of sunlight exposure. The advancements in its LRL technology means that Microvision has an intellectual property up to its sleeve when it comes to a potential buyout from a larger company.
