27-year-old billionaire's Orlando company is helping create an ‘uncrashable car’

On the outskirts of UCF at Central Florida Research Park, one tech startup is working toward making driving significantly safer. Luminar has a goal of saving 100 million lives over the next 100 years with its high-tech, lidar-based remote sensing system. However, instead of going all in on driverless cars, Luminar’s 27-year-old founder, Austin Russell, told anchor Justin Warmoth on “The Weekly” he’s more focused on using his company’s lidar to ultimately create an “uncrashable car” by improving driver-assist systems in a big way.
