A number of companies, including Volvo , who has partnered with Luminar, have already incorporated the technology into their vehicles. Not everyone is sold on the idea—Elon Musk has called it “ freaking stupid .” Luminar went public via a $3.4 billion SPAC deal with Gores Metropoulos in 2020, and has since ramped up efforts to outmuscle a number of competitors in the automotive sensor field. One of its rivals includes Velodyne, an industry leader that gained its edge as the first company to commercialize lidar for autonomous cars in 2007.

The company said the weak results, falling on the lower end of its guidance range, were “due to timing of program and service revenue recognition.” Its quarterly net loss was $144.8 million or $0.40 per share, nearly two times higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a $0.22 loss per share. Luminar stock’s value peaked in February 2021 at $37.73 per share, but has since been trending downwards , hitting a low of $3.95 in January this year.

Three months into his studies, Russell dropped out after securing a Thiel Fellowship, which awards $100,000 to young entrepreneurs.

In 2017, he brought Luminar’s innovations into the limelight, and three years later Russell’s net worth catapulted into the realm of billions after Luminar debuted on the Nasdaq—at the time, he was 25 years old. Russell is estimated to be worth about $1.6 billion according to Forbes, as of April 2022. Russell owns a second property, worth $10.6 million , in Winter Park, Florida. Related stories
