  Their web site has no useful information. It's hard to say much about that.

    There's this FastCo piece [0] that talks about their tech and has some videos. [0] https://www.fastcompany.com/40406052/this-sensor-technology-ceo-wants-to-be-in-self-driving-cars-by-his-26th-birthday https://www.fastcompany.com/40406052/this-sensor-technology-...

      From the scanning pattern shown, it's a two-axis mechanically scanned system. Resonant vibrating mirror? Mirror galvos? (I've played around with those.) Those work fine but have frame rate limitations. The article talks about "switching the system into high gear". You can trade off resolution for frame rate and may also be able to change the field of view. That complicates the imaging system; now you need gaze management. Not a bad idea, but I think the no-moving-parts solutions will win in the end.
