~~Ooh, it's the solid-state LIDAR tech I heard about a couple of years ago! They must have bought the company that invented it.~~ ~~The price is also just around where they expected it to be. They talked about going down to 100 eurodollars per unit when they hit mass manufacturing.~~ ED: No this is a MEMS device. The device I'm talking about is actually solid-state, scanning the laser by way of, IIRC, acousto-optic modulation. Car companies were interested in it.
