I spent some time testing the site and its API.

1. The MVIS price chart is made up

The site loads its data from https://www.gatewatch.ai/api/report/MVIS. You can open it in your browser and check for yourself.

• There are no dates in the data at all. The points are just labeled 0, 1, 2… and the Y-axis shows “$1” four times.
• Every time series ends with a jump to the current price ($1.16):
  • 1D goes from 1.07 to 1.16 in the last “hour” (+8%).
  • 1Y goes from 1.46 to 1.16 in the last “week” (−20%).
  • AAPL has the same pattern: from 500.59 to 339.50 in one “week”.
• The series contradict each other. For the same recent weeks, the 1Y series says ~$1.44–1.52, the 6M series says ~$1.02–1.04, and the 1M series says ~$1.16–1.19.
• They don’t match reality

Only the current price appears to be live.



2. It invents companies for fake tickers

I typed QQQQX, which doesn’t exist. GateWatch returned:

• “QQQQX Holdings”, trading at $291.75
• a full price chart
• two news items, one supposedly from “MarketWatch”

The only hint is a small “Demo data” badge. On MVIS that badge doesn’t appear, and the API labels the price as “live”, even though the chart history is just as synthetic. The footer does admit “some data shown may be simulated”.

3. The “AI sentiment” is a word list, and it doesn’t work

• The site itself says it uses a “weighted lexicon”. The score is just bullish % minus bearish %, and it changed from −7 to −6 between two identical requests.
• Some of the classifications:
  • The Overland AI selection (Benzinga): Bearish. The same news via Yahoo: Neutral.
  • “Lidar Stocks Enter Bear Market”: Bullish.
  • Two Stocktwits users insulting each other: Bullish.
  • A post consisting only of “$MVIS”: Bearish.
• 13 of the 60 displayed posts are WhatsApp pump bots (“$2K to $500K in 3 months”). The #1 “top author”, with a quality score of 87 (“Excellent”), is one of them. The dashboard still shows SPAM 0%.
• “Live Reddit sentiment” is listed on their own page as “coming soon”, yet 228 of the 277 “posts” are Reddit, mostly daily threads.

4. What GateWatch actually is

GateWatch is “a product by RetailVolts”, a “retail investor activation agency”. Full access is only for companies working with them.

A RetailVolts contract with Fusemachines (FUSE) is public in SEC filings. It shows the model:

• payment of 30,000 shares per monthly block
• the goal includes “trading volume”
• services include running the company subreddit, posting “due diligence reports”, and doing AMAs
• no clause requiring posts to be labeled as paid
• GateWatch alerts the client to “coordinated negative activity”

Link: https://contracts.justia.com/companies/cslm-holdings-inc-103292/contract/1388107/

To be clear: I found no filing showing that MicroVision has an agreement with RetailVolts. If shares were issued for something like this, it should show up in the Q3 10-Q (results Oct 28). Worth checking.

Verify yourself: Open these in your browser and look at the "series" and "meta" fields: https://www.gatewatch.ai/api/report/MVIS https://www.gatewatch.ai/api/report/QQQQX

Putting this in its own thread, but Fusemachines, the CFOs previous company, uses this outfit. Here is the agreement. They get paid 30,000 shares per month. I assume MVIS contract will be similar. Its as shitty as you'd imagine.

What was that about prudent use of capital Christine?

So uh, when's our real world demonstration, 2032?

finally a name but no numbers. 80 Iris in 2027 if we go by the AUSA info from Porter.

So just no mention of Movia S thats supposed to be out within the next few weeks?

The only thing that has me bullish is Johannes Gnauck buying 8% of the company. He currently has a loss on his shares of $600K over 17 trading days. It will be interesting to see if he sells. He has to file, if he does sell any. There is nothing more important than knowing he just bought shares. Johannes is not just an auto industry insider. He is a predictive sales analyst. He has software that crunches numbers for the auto industry. You can bet he has high level connections within the industry. He sees the future of sales, but does he know what will keep MVIS out of bankruptcy court and off the pink sheets? He obviously feels confident buying at $1.45. Does he know a buyout is coming? Is he the mastermind of it? I can't believe that he would subject such a large cash investment to a possible pink sheets stock. He bought with a .45 cent cushion above $1.00. More than 50% has been wiped away. It is now a .20 cent cushion. He is either nuts, or he knows something big is about to hit. JMHO DDD

I didn’t make the meeting. What did I miss? Why are we down -12% AH if we are reaffirming revenue?

Probably won't watch it but posting here for those of you who care

Another named contract for Ouster. Albeit probably a small one, but they are killing it with the Rev8 sensor.

Volkswagen has apparently chosen Wayve in its search for a new technology partner for automated driving. As the magazine "Der Spiegel" reports, citing three insiders, the British startup prevailed in an internal selection process against Nvidia and other providers.
According to the report, Volkswagen had several systems compete against each other a few weeks ago in a major city of southern Germany. Wayve was both technically and financially convincing. Volkswagen, VW's IT subsidiary Cariad and Wayve did not want to comment to the media representatives.
Time is pressing for the group. Driver assistance systems are increasingly becoming a competitive factor, especially in the premium segment. VW subsidiary Audi, for example, is under pressure in direct comparison with Mercedes and BMW in automated driving functions. Tesla also relies on a strongly data-driven software architecture with its FSD system.
Like Tesla, Wayve pursues a so-called end-to-end approach. The AI should derive driving decisions based on large amounts of sensor data as directly as possible, instead of relying primarily on predefined rules. During a test drive, according to "Spiegel", an Audi A6 e-tron with Wayve software, for example, recognized that an oncoming vehicle gave up its right of way by light horn and then drove independently into a parking space.
Volkswagen integrates Wayve into its software strategy
The possible collaboration with Wayve follows the end of the Automated Driving Alliance of Cariad and Bosch. The alliance had developed an AI-based level 2 system that Volkswagen wants to continue to use, including in the planned ID.EVERY1. However, the Group was looking for a new partner for the further development towards higher automation levels. Wayve was already considered a possible candidate in the summer.
For Cariad, the selection of the British startup is initially rather positive. Wayve is primarily intended to supply the AI software. Cariad would integrate these into the existing technical architecture of sensors, computing hardware and other software components.

Post whatever you want in this thread.

Try to keep it MicroVision related.

Fools errand, right Elon?

At IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 in Hannover, MicroVision’s Evan Fathers takes the Industry Stage to explore how long-range perception technologies are helping transform commercial vehicle safety and autonomy.
In his presentation, “The Road to Safer Autonomy: How Long-Range Perception Technologies Are Transforming Commercial Vehicles,” Evan discusses why seeing farther matters — particularly at highway speeds, where earlier detection and classification of hazards can provide valuable time for safer decision-making and response.
Discover how next-generation sensing technologies and long-range lidar are enabling greater situational awareness and supporting the evolution toward safer, increasingly autonomous commercial vehicles.
