REDMOND, WA / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2021 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in MEMS based solid state automotive lidar and micro-display technology for augmented reality, today announced its participation in a consortium working to develop a standard specification and testing framework for automotive LiDAR sensors.
"Given the importance of sensors to systems intended to support ADAS and autonomous driving, it is critical that the industry develop testing standards that will allow OEMs and consumers to compare and evaluate those sensors." said Sumit Sharma, MicroVision's Chief Executive Officer. "With so many LiDAR developers in the market today making various claims around sensor quality and performance, the lack of agreed-upon standards and test protocols leaves us with an apples-to-oranges comparison. MicroVision is honored to have been invited to participate in this safety-critical project."
The project will provide common sensor specification and characterization guidelines, as well as a common and application-relevant evaluation framework. Led by fka GmbH, a Germany-based research and engineering services company with a history of leading similar automotive testing-standards efforts, the consortium includes several well-known OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, with MicroVision being one of just three lidar developers selected to participate.

Study Finds Lower Rates of Overweight Among Vegan-Fed Cats23.10.2026 16:45:00 CEST | Press release
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2026 / A large-scale survey published in Frontiers in Animal Science has found cats fed vegan diets had lower rates of obesity and related health problems, than those fed conventional meat-based diets. An online survey analysed carer-reported veterinary assessments of 1,305 cats fed either conventional meat-based (90%) or vegan (10%) diets for at least one year. After accounting for factors including age, sex, neuter status, activity and feeding practices, vegan-fed cats had 34% lower odds of being assessed as overweight. However, the difference was not statistically significant, in part reflecting the relatively small number of vegan-fed cats. For several body weight-related problems, no vegan-fed cats were affected. Nevertheless, researchers say the findings show an interesting trend that warrants further investigation. Overweight and obesity are common in domestic cats, with veterinary studies estimating that around 30-60% of cats are overw

New Global Initiative Seeks to Modernize Health Workforce Mobility22.10.2026 17:00:00 CEST | Press release
PHILADELPHIA, PA, TORONTO, ON AND GRONINGEN, NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2026 / TruMerit® and Centennial College, with support of the Groningen Declaration Network (GDN Network), have unveiled a new vision for the future of global health workforce mobility, introducing a framework designed to help health professionals carry trusted, verifiable records of their qualifications and competencies across borders.
