REDMOND, WA / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2021 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in MEMS based solid state 
automotive lidar and micro-display technology for augmented reality, today announced the hiring of Dr. Thomas Luce as 
Vice President of Business Development, focused on European and Middle East markets, as well as plans to open a new 
office in Germany to help promote the Company's automotive lidar technology and sensor to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. 
"As interest in our lidar technology grows, our presence in Germany allows us to work more closely with potential 
partners and customers," said Sumit Sharma, MicroVision's Chief Executive Officer. "I am thrilled that Dr. Luce will 
lead our business development efforts in Europe and the Middle East. Based on the data we have shared to date with OEMs 
and mobility-as-a-service companies, a local presence will help us work closely to ensure that our LRL sensor meets or 
exceeds target OEM and Tier 1 expectations. Initial feedback from potential partners and customers has been positive. I 
am happy about our progress so far. With COVID restrictions lifting and staff starting to return to the office, we look 
forward to our team moving to track testing of our sensor." 
Joining MicroVision on September 1, 2021, Dr. Luce is a seasoned executive with more than 25 years of experience in 
Automotive Lighting and Optics. He held various leadership roles at Philips Automotive Lighting, Schefenacker, Valeo

automotive and optics company, adding LED and lidar optics to the company portfolio. With an extensive career in the 
automotive area, he has deep insight into the automotive sensor and lighting community. He studied Physics and 
Chemistry at Heidelberg and Berlin University, as well as Business Administration at Hagen. He earned his PhD with 
great honor in nonlinear optics at Free University Berlin. 
"I am thrilled by the opportunity to join the MicroVision team and to develop the MicroVision business in Europe," said 
Dr. Luce. "I believe that especially the premium car manufacturers are now strongly pushing for autonomous driving, and 
I am convinced that the lidar solution MicroVision could provide to its Automotive customers will be an enabler for 
autonomy and safety for the future. I see a huge potential to capture a significant share of the lidar sensor market 
and to create value for MicroVision's shareholders."
