The partnership between Polestar and Luminar Technologies is continuing with the goal of incorporating long-range LiDAR technology into upcoming vehicles manufactured by Polestar. The application of LiDAR technology is continuing to pick up steam as the attention paid to the security and autonomy of the next generation increases globally.
The expanded partnership will be the foundation for collaboration on industrial design and the integration of Luminar's 3D laser scanning technology, both of which will be incorporated into future Polestar vehicles. This now includes the Polestar 5, a four-door electric GT based on the Polestar Precept concept vehicle and scheduled to be released in 2024.
The relationship between the two businesses was established through Volvo Cars, and as part of that agreement, Luminar is responsible for providing LiDAR technology for the Polestar 3. The first Polestar SUV, which debuted in October 2022, is now being offered for purchase in the first markets to feature Luminar's LiDAR technology. Customers can now place orders for Polestar 3 with Luminar's LiDAR technology, which was brought ahead to coincide with the launch. Deliveries are anticipated to take place in 2024.
