When tesla was first saying that LIDAR was nothing more than a laser and receiving optics mounted on a spinning hub that spun real fast. Like old those big radar dishes on big navy ships.
In the years since, ic and component manufacturers have created solid state lidar. They're basically little electronics modules that cost a few dozen dollars, no motors, etc.
The world changes. Better components come along
