Non-scanning means your flash emits the equivalent of all the beams at the same time. Look at their flagship spec, you must master 160A next to the other electronics. Two board designs are more expensive and error prone, can't get 160 amps through a flex-cable easily. Then there is the opening angle, you need wide _and_ long, at least for front and rear facing and the optics for that are challenging. Another influence certainly is that the automated driving craze has been superseded by the AI craze and scaling won't come in the time frame that was predicted some years ago. Disclaimer: worked in AD since 2012 (too late for the urban challenge unfortunately ;)) and in a company building sensors and a full stack. P.S.: a QNX desktop is possible and actually alive again, but company politics... :/
