"Otto noted that it had developed an “in-house custom built 64-laser (Class 1) emitting 6.4 million beams a second at 10Hz.”"
...
"Lidow explained that many lidars today use 32 lasers and 1 or 2 million beams per second, and that a 64-laser system emitting 6.4 million beams a second would give superior vertical resolution and quicker refreshes. This would be better able to capture small, fast objects such as bouncing balls or animals darting into the road. It would also be technically challenging to build. “But I don’t think the speed of the system or the number of laser pulses are definitive in any way to tell you whose system it is,” he said."
While Velodyne has a 64 channel product, I can't find any reference of a Velodyne system that comes close to that 6.4M beam per second refresh.
