Polestar and autonomous tech developer Luminar deepen partnership, with plans to offer long-range Iris lidar in the Polestar 3 and 5. The Polestar 5 will also receive Luminar's lidar tech, with the four-door performance GT set to arrive in 2024. Now, autonomous driving tech developer Luminar and EV maker Polestar have revealed plans to offer the former's Iris lidar tech in the Polestar 5, previewed earlier in 2022 by the Precept concept. However, the Polestar 3 will get here earlier without the lidar tech, with deliveries set to start in the second half of 2023. "Luminar is at the forefront of lidar technology development, and this closer collaboration will allow for greater innovation in our cars to come," said Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath.
