The deal means that Luminar will become a public company trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol LAZR.

Luminar, which makes sensors for autonomous vehicles, said Monday it was selling itself in a deal valued at $3.4 billion via a SPAC merger with Gores Metropoulos. Volvo and the tech mogul Peter Thiel are also chipping in.
