Luminar Halo
Luminar
Honorable Mention
Luminar is the first LiDAR company to bring design to automotive safety sensors. Partnering with Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and Polestar, our mission is to enable next-gen safety. The Luminar Halo, our most advanced LiDAR, marks a major leap in performance, integration, and cost. Designed from the chip up, Halo is smaller, lighter, and more thermally efficient than its predecessor. It reflects our bold mission: to save 100 million lives and 100 trillion hours over the next century. Unlike bulky LiDAR systems on robotaxis aiming to replace drivers, Luminar enhances the driver’s role for broader safety impact. While sensors are usually hidden, Halo is designed to be seen and celebrated. It’s also more sustainable and efficient—delivering 4x performance, 2x thermal efficiency, and nearly 1/3 the size and weight, with near-zero drag.
