- The selection of companies appears to be somewhat random. Major players are missing while minor players are included. - Companies with different levels of system integrations were chosen (e.g. for Radar: Chip manufacturer (Infineon) vs ECU suppliers (Bosch)) - Information is inacurate (Valeo is manufacturing scanning instead of flash Lidar)

    Who is your target audience? What do you want your readers to do with the list? Elaborate why you included a company on your list and link to something specific instead of the main website (e.g. TIs Radar Chip https://www.ti.com/product/AWR1642 https://www.ti.com/product/AWR1642)

No Microvision (MVIS)?

  Thanks for the suggestion; we'll look into adding them for our next update.

This is neat and all, but can you buy any of the systems? Everything was 'contact us.'

I'd agree with others on this thread, this list seems very random. It has consumer facing products, IC suppliers, tier 1 automotive suppliers. Each you'd interact with in different ways and use for different situations/volumes (this may be very unclear to an uninformed reader who just wants to plug something into a raspberry pi) Some noted gaps: - This is missing Murata on IMUs (they sell IMU ICs not packaged IMUs) - Leaving Continental off of the radar section seems like a gap as well, they're a common radar supplier for automotive and autonomous vehicle companies. - I might differentiate between MEMS micro-mirror based scanning and scanning via spinning. They're fundamentally different and can have very different form-factors/behaviours. - Adding some suppliers for GPS systems might be useful. Localization systems that integrate IMU/perception inputs may also use GPS, e.g. Swift's Duro https://www.swiftnav.com/duro https://www.swiftnav.com/duro

  Thanks - this is very useful feedback that we will address with an update.
