2021 COI disclosure edit
Hi! Luminar has brought me in through my employer, Porter Novelli, to update this draft and prepare it for AfC resubmission. Since this article is in draft space, I'll be making edits directly to the draft, but I welcome any input or feedback throughout this process. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 21:04, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi! As noted above, I'm a COI editor for Luminar. Now that this article is live, I don't want to edit it directly, but I have a few more updates to request:
- In "Products" section, move the "Hydra" subsection before the "Iris" subsection. Hydra is for R&D whereas Iris is meant for production vehicles, so I think it makes sense for Hydra to follow the Prototype and Iris to come last.
- Delete from "History" section (using "Korosec"[1] ref name already in use in article):
- And move into new subsection at end of "Products":
- ===Sentinel===
- Sentinel is a self-driving system combining Luminar's hardware and Zenseact's OnePilot software.[1] It is designed to provide "proactive safety" measures, like maneuvering to avoid accidents, as well as autonomous highway driving.[3] It can receive wireless updates over time to expand the areas in which it can operate autonomously and improve safety.[1] In June 2021, Luminar and Volvo announced that the Volvo XC90, an electric SUV, would include Sentinel as part of its standard equipment, in addition to Luminar's Iris hardware.[4]
- This is my fault, but apparently this sentence in "Iris" (using "Wiggers"[5] ref name already in use in article):
- Two versions of Iris are available: a version that enables hands-free "freeway autonomy" and a cheaper advanced driver-assistance systems version that enables autonomous functions like emergency steering and braking.[5]
- is no longer accurate. Could we either delete it (which I think is preferable) or update the beginning to "In January 2020, two versions of Iris were available"?
- In "Operations", update
- In addition to its main Palo Alto and Orlando locations, Luminar has locations in Detroit and Israel, with another office planned for Shanghai as of March 2021.[6]

Thanks so much for your time and feedback. Mary Gaulke (talk) 23:27, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Indefensible: Pinging you in case you'd like to take a look at the above. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 19:47, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- Went through your request, I think Iris and Hydra are probably in that order because they were announced that way chronologically. - Indefensible (talk) 06:02, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
