Velodyne is having major production issues. Our latest order with them has been pushed back months, and our last new order was quoted at 30-40 weeks. They keep citing yield issues. I'm hoping this opens up the market for reasonably-priced competition.

I see Velodyne is predicting that economies of scale would lower prices "below $50" which is impressive, at the same time I haven't heard anything more about Osram's $5 lidar[1], which would certainly turn up the pressure...
