Apple Car director leaves for Luminar after just six months
Summary
Luminar (Nasdaq: LAZR), the global leader in automotive lidar hardware and software technology, announced several new additions to its technical leadership. Taner Ozcelik, the founder of Nvidias automotive business, joins Luminar as executive vice president and general manager to oversee product development, R&D, program management, and Luminars semiconductor subsidiaries. CJ Moore, who served as director of Autopilot software at Tesla and most recently a director of autonomous systems at Apple, is joining Luminar to lead its software program and realize its vision for next-generation safety and autonomy. Ming-Chi Kuo reported in March that the Apple Car team "has been dissolved for some time" and that it was in need of reorganization if the company wanted to hit its 2025 mass production goal. Apple Car is expected to be an autonomous electric vehicle with a hefty price tag.
