GM will lunch 30 EVs by 2025 and Cruise, also owned by GM, just got permit from California to provide passenger test rides in driverless vehicles on 6/5.
MSFT buys MVIS. It will supply GM the best Lidar on the market along with services mentioned above.
On the side, MSFT gets ownership of HoloLens hardware, owned by MVIS, for which it has a $22b contract with military.
