Current platform

Volvo EX90

Volvo's all-electric flagship SUV (2024+); the first global production vehicle to standardize LiDAR (Luminar Iris, integrated into roofline). Honest scope: EX90 uses LiDAR for safety/ADAS perception, not as a robotaxi - it is a passenger car. Registered here because Luminar's supply relationship anchors to this model.
