Alright, here's what I think could be an interesting thread to start the week.
Each of Rivian's major 2019 investors have a stake in autonomous driving, lidar, or both.
Amazon - Aurora (AD)-->Blackmore (lidar)

https://www.wired.com/story/self-driving-startup-aurora-buys-speed-sensing-lidar/
https://www.forbes.com/sites/alanoh...ra-backed-by-amazon-buys-a-laser-lidar-maker/
Ford - Argo AI (AD)-->Princeton Lightwave (lidar)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabu...le-down-on-lidar-acquire-princeton-lightwave/

Cox Automotive - Ouster (lidar)
https://ouster.com/

A couple of questions for the masses here:
- Which AD tech will Rivian use?
- Which lidar company or approach/tech would be best? Do we know what Rivian uses today?
- Do you think these partnerships could lead to catching up with Tesla on the AD front?
