Nowhere in the official press release [0] did it say it's solid state.

Note that Velodyne called its spinning lidars "hybrid solid state" which is rather misleading.

[1] "Employees told The Verge that resources had been redirected to the production of high-end rotating LIDAR, and that the press release touting the solid state unit had been premature." https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/18/16491052/velodyne-lidar-...
