       | - 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)

       | No Microvision (MVIS)?

         | next update.

       | 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

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