Luminar Technologies Stock Is Rallying Wednesday: What's Going On?
Luminar Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:LAZR) shares are trading higher Wednesday after the company launched its Sentinel software for automakers.
Luminar Technologies Inc（纳斯达克：LAZR）股票周三交易上涨，因公司推出了适用于汽车制造商的Sentinel软件。
What Happened: Following five years of breakthrough developments in software and AI systems, Luminar has announced that it's launching its full-stack software suite Sentinel.
发生了什么：经过五年的软件和人工智能系统的突破性发展后，Luminar宣布推出其全套软件套件Sentinel。
Sentinel is packed with features including proactive safety, perception, 3D mapping and localization, simulation and dynamic LiDAR features. The software suite enables automakers to accelerate development of advanced safety and autonomous functionality on vehicles.
Sentinel拥有诸多功能，包括主动安全、感知、3D地图和定位、模拟和动态LiDAR功能。软件套件使得汽车制造商能够加速车辆先进安全性和自动驾驶功能的开发。
"People know Luminar for pioneering LiDAR systems for global production vehicles, but since 2017 we have also been building next-generation AI-based software for improved safety and autonomy," said Austin Russell, founder and CEO of Luminar.
“人们知道Luminar是全球生产车辆激光雷达系统的开创者，但自2017年以来，我们也一直在开发基于人工智能的下一代软件，以提高安全性和自主性能，” Luminar的创始人兼CEO Austin Russell说。
"Our launch couldn't be more timely with the new NHTSA mandate for next-generation safety in all US production vehicles by 2029, and as of today, we're the only solution we know of that meets all of these requirements. This gives us the opportunity to dramatically expand our content value per vehicle in a high-margin capacity."
“我们的推出再合时宜不过，因为美国新的NHTSA规定要求到2029年所有生产的美国车辆都具备下一代安全性能，而截止到今天，我们是唯一我们所知道的符合所有这些要求的解决方案。这给我们提供了在高利润能力下大幅增加每辆车价值的机会。”
Sentinel is designed to be compatible with almost all consumer and commercial vehicles, including both internal combustion engines and electric vehicle models. Luminar noted that its first shipments took place this week and the new software is expected to be delivered to top automakers in the third quarter.
Sentinel被设计成可与几乎所有消费和商用车辆兼容，包括内燃机汽车和电动汽车型号。Luminar指出，它的首批交付于本周，新软件预计将在第三季度交付给顶级汽车制造商。
Luminar said in May that Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) was the company's biggest LiDAR customer in the first quarter. Luminar noted that Tesla helped offset a quarter-over-quarter sales decline with purchases representing more than 10% of total revenue during the period.
