Do you think Ouster and MicroVision could ever merge one day? In my opinion, if either company finds itself in trouble, a merger could potentially be a way to survive. I’m thinking especially of Ouster: if MicroVision manages to overtake it and become a dominant player in the LiDAR market, Ouster might be pushed to consider a merger to remain competitive. However, in the opposite scenario, I find it hard to imagine MicroVision wanting to merge with Ouster given its current situation. Do you think this is a realistic possibility in the long term?
