One of our readers asked how this is different than other camera-lidar fusion products. 

The answer is that other fusion products are not using the same lens for the camera and lidar. The distance between the camera and lidar creates an error called parallax. This can be corrected for by accounting for the locations of the camera and lidar, but that correction takes time. By using the same lens for both camera and lidar, there is no correction needed. This provides real-time information, which is very important for autonomous vehicles.
