Hi Oliver, congratulations on this! I have a few questions:

1) Is there a plan to be further integrated with the car eg hiding the LIDAR from plain sight?

2) On OSS, can you direct me to any OSS projects that is related to control the car ie the part from computer to the car or connecting the CANBUS.

3) What are the technical considerations, specific to Autonomous car, since you’re using OSS projects for it?

1) It's not an immediate priority for us, and not really a strength. We are partnering with an amazing company for our second generation vehicle that will go a long way towards this, though. In general, we are excited to see LIDAR sensors become slimmer.

2) One of our engineers builds and maintains Carloop.io, which I can verify as awesome!

3) Safety and performance. One project to keep an eye on is ROS2, which is prioritizing development of real-time features (RTOS, DDS support).

I can't, help?
