The Munich-based startup beat out a total of 1,200 applicants, ten of which advanced to the finals. Founded in 2017, the company offers a special type of sensor, namely 3D LiDAR products. (<em>Editor&#039;s note: LiDAR stands for &quot;light detection and ranging&quot;<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These sensors are used in particular for autonomous vehicles and IoT applications.
