This is mostly hype until they can actually deliver.

I ordered several of their current lidars 5 months ago and now it looks like the total delivery time will be about a year after the order. And they're mostly unresponsive about what is going on.

I was at SPAR 3D in Houston a couple weeks ago (trade show for laser scanning/ surveying industry), and there was some rumor-mill type chatter about what the hell was going on with Velodyne.

Apparently some folks have heard that they're having some sort of supplier issue that they're not doing a good job of working through/ finding a replacement for.
