Based on the picture in the article, there's some redundancy in this model, which makes sense for a product specifically designed to be used in a car, but you can buy an LD-06 lidar sensor for less than $30.

It's impossible to tell from the picture, but it does look a bit like two LD-06 sensors in a case with a bit of room for some processing hardware. It depends on what kind/how much processing they're doing, and I'm in no way an expert, but as a nerd with an Aliexpress account who loves to tinker, this looks more like a success of Chinese manufacturing at scale than some kind of new advancement that MacroVision made.
