Saying that GM was not a Reddit mod is defending her or criminal pedos? Jesus Christ dude, get a grip on reality.

Wasn’t that being GM debunked like numerous times?

Off the top of my head this is what happened.
- Volvo committed to Luminar to provide their LiDAR sensor as standard on all EX90 cars (and perhaps even the ES90). Based upon how the automotive OEM agreements work, I doubt this was an absolute legal agreement. In fact, the way I understand the OEM agreements with suppliers, the OEM can change their decisions at any time. Effectively, they simply do not need to order sensors. All the power lies with the OEM. The supplier may be able to recover some monies via penalty clauses and such. Cepton did this when GM cancelled their agreement. However, these monies are a drop in the bucket when compared to a high volume production agreement.
- Based on this committment, Luminar invested capital in building out a Mexico facility to produce up to 250,000 sensors per year. A very large capital committment.
- Volvo backed off their committment to provide the LiDAR sensor as standard, and told Luminar it would be an option choice by the consumer. This greatly reduced the expect sensor volume.
- Luminar cried foul. And said they were not going to ship sensors. I think this is correct.
- Volvo claimed breach of contract and terminated the deal.
- Luminar filed for bankruptcy weeks later.
I think it refers to the delivery aspect, not necessarily any problem with the sensor itself.
