Dr. Walker remarked: “We all acknowledge that this is high summer for lidar, from the SPACs and sensor action from the automotive players, who are also addressing other verticals, to the fabulous sensors and remarkable project completion that are characteristic of the geospatial market. We want to recognize the visionaries who make all this possible, through their energy, imagination and risk-taking.”
