stocks up for several LiDAR companies.

for the technology has died down, from Tesla's vehicles capping
out at only Level 2 autonomy, and Uber selling its ATG b) how

possibility of an Apple vehicle c) how autonomous vehicle
manufacturers should prepare for the possibility of an Apple
vehicle d) how LiDAR technology is poised to support AV
solutions moving forward

Name: Jessica Zimmer Corrosionpedia.com

Category: High Tech

Email: query-boa1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Corrosionpedia.com

Deadline: 8:00 PM EST - 26 December

Query:

I am interested in interviewing an expert in corrosion on the
topic of intergranular corrosion. This is a type of corrosion
that severely affects metal parts like ship hulls. It involves
at the grain boundaries of a metal or alloy. The story I am
writing is about the losses and risks that intergranular
corrosion causes and existing and new ways to prevent or slow
damage. I will be doing a quote and content check with the
source to make sure they are quoted accurately and the
information attributed to them is accurate as well. I write for
other news sites. This is my first time using HARO.

Requirements:

The source must have knowledge of intergranular corrosion. They
must be an expert in the field, such as someone in an industry
affected by the concern, a university professor, or a
professional researcher in corrosion. I would expect them to
have at least a B.S. in a hard science or field experience equal
to this. Please let me know if you have any questions. I know
this is a specialized topic. Corrosionpedia is a Canada-based
news site. I am in the U.S. The source can be anywhere in the
world but must be able to read and answer questions in English.
Thank you for your help.
