electrical engineering degrees at Stanford University.As a wave of recent laser sensor SPACs sputter on the stock market, new startup Red Leader is making a play on the industry with a different approach: focus on software, not hardware.
The company is building software for lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging” and is most well-known for allowing self-driving cars to see the world.

Across the board, these companies’ stocks have since fallen, often owing to underwhelming sales performance.
