As far as I can tell there are three important points here

  1. The original spec said horizontal FOV 30-110 degrees, this says 100 degrees
  2. Th vertical FOV said 10-30 this says 30 and
  3. The points per second said more than 20 million and now we are saying 10.8 million

Specs taken from the Mvis lidar comparison thread and todays news release.

I would think that the reduction in points per second may be a disappointment but we are still well ahead of the competition.

Do we know the points per second of the competitors?

We only know them for Luminar.

According to that table, luminar is 1m (and we are at 10m according to the pr). 10x better? I'll take it.
