…research universities. Sponsors include big companies like Cisco and Luminar. Public policy is a helpful background. How is today's race different from October's race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS)? Mitchell: Teams must still be able to demonstrate their capabilities, but it's a smaller in-person crowd. It's open to CES attendees but scaled back due to COVID-19. Going back to the IMS, we showcased where the 19 teams were in their journey toward eventual head-to-head racing. Based on a variety of conditions, like weather, we didn't feel that putting multiple cars on track was a safe bet at that time.…

…now removed that sensor suite and relocated the front-facing Luminar Iris lidar and wide field-of-view camera to each of its proprietary mirror-mounted SensorPods. By integrating sensors into the SensorPods, and eschewing the “unibrow” sensor suite common in the autonomous trucking industry, Kodiak said it has made it easier for customers to refit their vehicles. The move also doubles the lidar coverage at long range of the Kodiak Driver self-driving technology, said the company. By relocating the sensors to the SensorPods on the side-mounted mirrors, Kodiak said it has simplified the build process. They are now easier to reach, and customers…
