I noticed that Valeo have a strong presence in India as well. The link between these 2 companies has already been established in other posts so it makes sense that the new electric Mercedes are assembled here. Not sure if we can assume that Valeo's new Lidar will be these cars and if Akida is involved but I am sure we will find out sooner or later?

Valeo is headquartered in Chennai. Present since 1997 in India, Valeo has developed a strong Indian presence. Valeo today has eight Production Sites, one global R&D center, five Distribution Platforms, one Front office to serve its clients. These facilities are spread over Chennai, Pune, Sanand, Noida and Gurgaon. Valeo employs more than 6,000 people in India, of which nearly 50% are engineers.

Valeo’s Development Center in Chennai employs thousands of talented engineers. This facility has emerged as the global hub providing efficient support to Valeo’s global customers in the areas of Mechanical Design, Simulation, Embedded Software Development, Vision Systems Software and Hardware & Functional Safety Design.
