Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN.US) CEO RJ Scaringe said the company is contemplating manufacturing its own lidar and may cooperate with a Chinese company for production.

Last year, Rivian launched a new initiative aimed at producing its own chips as part of its plan to develop proprietary autonomous driving technology, in order to vie with Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US).
