Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business, Background and Nature of Operations Velodyne Lidar, Inc. (the “Company”, “Velodyne” or “Velodyne Lidar”) provides smart vision solutions that are advancing the development of safe automated systems throughout the world. The Company’s technology, which is used in various automotive and non-automotive applications, is empowering the autonomous revolution by allowing machines to see their surroundings in real-time and in 3D. The Company’s predecessor, Graf Industrial Corp. (“Graf”), was originally incorporated in Delaware as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). On September 29, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Graf consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Velodyne Lidar, Inc. (the “pre-combination Velodyne”). Immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Graf merged into the pre-combination Velodyne, with the pre-combination Velodyne surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Graf changed its name to Velodyne Lidar, Inc. and the pre-combination Velodyne changed its name to Velodyne Lidar USA, Inc. Refer to Note 2. Business Combination for further discussion of the Business Combination. On September 30, 2020, Velodyne Lidar’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “VLDR” and “VLDRW,” respectively. The Company has evaluated how it is organized and managed and has identified only one operating segment. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Specifically, operating lease ROU assets, current and non-current lease liabilities and non-current contract liabilities are now presented as separate line items on the consolidated balance sheets and were previously included within other assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively. In addition, operating lease liabilities are now presented as separate line items on the consolidated statements of cash flows and were previously included within accrued and other liabilities. Liquidity The Company has funded its operations primarily through proceeds realized from the Business Combination, issuances of stock, and sales to customers. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s existing sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $229.2 million, continuing sale of its stocks under the ATM offering, available borrowing capacity of $4.2 million under a revolving credit facility. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. If the Company incurs additional losses in the future, it may need to raise additional capital through issuances of equity and debt. There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to raise such capital. However, management believes that the Company’s existing sources of liquidity are adequate to fund its operations for at least twelve months from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were available for issuance. Concentration of Risk Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments with high-quality financial institutes with investment-grade ratings. A majority of the cash balances are with U.S. banks and are insured to the extent defined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from customers located both inside and outside the U.S. The Company mitigates its credit risks by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and requires customer advance payments in certain circumstances. The Company does not require collateral. The Company’s concentration of risk related to accounts receivable and accounts payable was as follows: June 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Customers accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable: Customer A 22 % * Customer B 11 % * Customer C 11 % 16 % Customer D * 14 % Customer E * 11 % Vendors accounted for 10% or more of accounts payable: Vendor A 45 % 28 % Vendor B 11 % * * Less than 10%. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation in its customer contracts, total estimated future patents and their corresponding estimated development costs, total estimated costs and related progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation in certain services arrangements, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, common stock warrant valuation, useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill impairment, income tax uncertainties, and other loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Significant Accounting Policies Except for the change in certain policies described below, there have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies, compared to the accounting policies described in Note 1, Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Amazon Warrant The Amazon Warrant (as defined in Note 9) is accounted for as an equity instrument and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. To determine the fair value of the Amazon Warrant, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is based in part on assumptions that require management to use judgment. For awards granted to a customer, which are not in exchange for distinct goods or services, the fair value of the awards earned based on service or performance conditions is recorded as a reduction of the transaction price in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accordingly, w hen Amazon makes payments and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved, the Company will record a non-cash stock-based reduction to revenue associated with the Amazon Warrant, which is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the Amazon Warrant shares. Recently Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which has subsequently been amended by ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, ASU No. 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The objective of the guidance in ASU 2016-13 is to allow entities to recognize estimated credit losses in the period that the change in valuation occurs. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to present financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis on the balance sheet, net of an allowance for credit losses. Available for sale and held to maturity debt securities are also required to be held net of an allowance for credit losses. For smaller reporting companies, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2023 and is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. ASU 2020-10 is effective for public companies, other than smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Business Combination and Related Transactions | Business Combination and Related Transactions On September 29, 2020, the Company consummated a business combination with the pre-combination Velodyne. Pursuant to ASC 805, for financial accounting and reporting purposes, the pre-combination Velodyne was deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company was treated as the accounting acquiree, and the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the pre-combination Velodyne issuing stock for the net assets of Graf, accompanied by a recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, the consolidated financial statements of the Company are the historical financial statements of the pre-combination Velodyne. The net assets of Graf were stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and are consolidated with the pre-combination Velodyne's financial statements on the Closing date. The shares and net loss per share for periods prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement. The aggregate consideration for the Business Combination and related transactions was approximately $1.8 billion, consisting of (i) $222.1 million in cash at the closing of the Business Combination, net of transaction expenses, and (ii) 150,277,532 shares of common stock valued at $10.25 per share, totaling approximately $1.5 billion. The Company used approximately $1.8 million of the proceeds to repurchase and retire 175,744 shares of Company common stock from certain stockholders in the pre-closing tender offer. |

See Note 9 for more information. (2) Includes license revenue of $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to patent cross-license agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $0.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In June 2020, the Company entered into a patent cross-license agreement related to its litigation settlement with a customer in Asia Pacific. Under the terms of the arrangement, the customer agreed to make a one-time license payment upon settlement, will make annual fixed royalty payments through 2024, and thereafter, will make product sales royalty payments through February 2030. In September 2020, Velodyne entered into another patent cross-license agreement related to its litigation with a different customer in Asia Pacific. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $3.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of current deferred revenue, and $10.1 million and $11.9 million, respectively, of long-term deferred revenue associated with the rights granted as part of these patent cross-license agreements to receive future patents as they represent stand ready obligations. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company also had $13.0 million and $16.3 million, respectively, of contract assets related to these patent cross-license agreements. Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled accounts receivable. Unbilled amounts arise when the timing of billing differs from the timing of revenue recognized, such as when revenue is recognized on guaranteed minimums at the inception of the contract when there is not yet a right to invoice in accordance with contract terms. Unbilled amounts are recorded as a contract asset when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and reclassified to accounts receivable when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, customer advanced payments and customer deposits. Deferred revenue includes billings in excess of revenue recognized related to product sales, licenses, extended warranty and other services revenue, and is recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract. The long-term portion of deferred revenue, mostly related to obligations under license arrangements and extended warranty, is classified as non-current contract liabilities and is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Customer advanced payments represent required customer payments in advance of product shipments according to customer’s payment term. Customer advance payments are recognized as revenue when control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Customer deposits represent consideration received from a customer which can be applied to future product or service purchases, or refunded. Contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Contract assets, current Unbilled accounts receivable $ 3,830 $ 3,313 Contract assets, long-term Unbilled accounts receivable 9,182 12,962 Total contract assets $ 13,012 $ 16,275 Contract liabilities, current Deferred revenue, current $ 5,278 $ 6,209 Customer advance payment 69 139 Total 5,347 6,348 Contract liabilities, long-term Deferred revenue, long-term 10,740 12,740 Total contract liabilities $ 16,087 $ 19,088 The following table shows the significant changes in contract assets and contract liabilities balances (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 Contract assets: Beginning balance $ 16,275 $ 11,253 Transferred to receivables from contract assets recognized at the beginning of the period (3,313) (2,813) Increase due to unbilled and recognized as revenue in excess of billings during the period, net of amounts transferred to receivables 50 5,251 Ending balance $ 13,012 $ 13,691 Contract liabilities: Beginning balance $ 19,088 $ 22,055 Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liabilities beginning balance (4,120) (5,972) Increase due to cash received and not recognized as revenue and billings in excess of revenue recognized during the period 1,119 6,236 Ending balance $ 16,087 $ 22,319 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement The Company categorizes assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet based on the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair value. For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact, and the Company considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices in less active market. All significant inputs used in the valuations are observable or can be directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs are based on assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company monitors and review the inputs to ensure the fair value measurements are reasonable and consistent with market experience in similar asset classes. The following table summarize the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): June 30, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents: Money market fund $ 60,008 $ — $ — $ 60,008 Total cash equivalents 60,008 — — 60,008 Short-term investments: Money market fund 7 — — 7 Commercial paper — 74,300 — 74,300 Corporate debt securities — 77,878 — 77,878 Total short-term investments 7 152,178 — 152,185 Total assets measured at fair value $ 60,015 $ 152,178 $ — $ 212,193 December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents: Money market fund $ 391 $ — $ — $ 391 Total cash equivalents 391 — — 391 Short-term investments: Money market fund 7 — — 7 Commercial paper — 130,983 — 130,983 Corporate debt securities — 139,367 — 139,367 Total short-term investments 7 270,350 — 270,357 Total assets measured at fair value $ 398 $ 270,350 $ — $ 270,748 |

The Company is not required to sell any shares at any time during the term of the ATM Agreement. Net proceeds from the sale of ATM Shares will be used for general corporate purposes. The Company records the sale of its ATM Shares on a settlement date basis. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million (after deducting $0.7 million in commissions and expenses) from sales of 6,471,048 ATM Shares at an average price of $1.17 per share pursuant to the ATM Agreement. Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. Dividends The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the common stock to date. The Company may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. In addition, the Company’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness the Company or its subsidiaries incur. Public Warrants Upon the closing of the Business Combination, there were 24,876,512 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued by Graf prior to the Business Combination. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase three-quarters of one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. The warrants are exercisable at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination. The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant at any time after they become exercisable, provided that the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, subject to adjustments, for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three In connection with the Business Combination, on October 19, 2020, the Company registered the issuance of an aggregate of up to 18,657,384 shares of its common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of its warrants, including up to 375,000 shares of its common stock issuable upon exercise of its working capital warrants issued to Graf LLC. The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding warrants and common stock issuance related to the warrant exercises: June 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Warrants outstanding upon Closing 24,876,512 24,876,512 Warrants exercised to date 18,902,642 18,902,642 Warrants outstanding 5,973,870 5,973,870 Aggregated common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants 18,657,384 18,657,384 Common shares issued upon exercise of warrants 14,176,959 14,176,959 Remaining common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants 4,480,425 4,480,425 On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a statement regarding accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by SPACs. In light of the issues raised by the SEC, the Company re-evaluated its accounting position for the warrants and concluded that certain warrants should have been classified as a liability measured at fair value for the 30-day period from September 29, 2020 to October 29, 2020. Accounting for these warrants as a liability instead of equity would have reduced non-operating expense and net loss by $1.6 million for 2020. Additionally, a corresponding $1.6 million adjustment would have been made to reduce its accumulated deficit with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid in capital in its equity accounts at December 31, 2020. The Company has concluded that the effects of accounting for the warrants as a liability instead of equity were immaterial to its previously issued financial statements and, accordingly, made an adjustment to its equity accounts for the effects of the accounting for the warrants in its consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and balance sheet at December 31, 2021 by decreasing its accumulated deficit by $1.6 million with an offsetting decrease to its additional paid in capital. Amazon Warrant In February 2022, the Company and Amazon.com (“Amazon”) entered into a warrant agreement and a transaction agreement, pursuant to which Velodyne agreed to issue to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon, a warrant (“Amazon Warrant”) to acquire up to an aggregate of 39,594,032 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.18 per share. The exercise price and the warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant are subject to customary antidilution adjustments. Following stock sales under the Company’s ATM offering, as of June 30, 2022, the antidilution adjustments provided Amazon with warrants to acquire an additional 50,394 shares, for an aggregate of 39,644,426 shares. The right to exercise the warrants and receive the warrant shares that have vested expires February 4, 2030 . The warrant agreement also contains customary change-in-control provisions. The Amazon Warrant shares vest in multiple tranches over time based on payments of up to $200 million by Amazon or its affiliates (directly or indirectly through third parties) to the Company in connection with Amazon’s purchase of goods and services from the Company. Upon entry into an additional commercial agreement, certain warrant shares will vest, and the number of shares that vest in connection with future payments by Amazon to Velodyne will be reduced pro rata. As of June 30, 2022, zero of the Amazon Warrant shares are vested. When Amazon makes payments, and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved, the Company will record a non-cash stock-based reduction to revenue associated with the Amazon Warrant, which is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the Amazon Warrant shares. The fair value of the Amazon Warrant shares was measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Expected term, in years 6.00 Expected volatility 50.00% Risk-free interest rate 1.84% Expected dividend yield 0% |

In connection with the Business Combination, outstanding common stock and preferred stock of the pre-combination Velodyne were converted into common stock of the Company. As discussed in Note 2, Business Combination, the Company has retroactively adjusted the pre-combination common and preferred shares issued and outstanding prior to September 29, 2020 to give effect to the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement to determine the number of shares of common stock into which they were converted. The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,250,000,000 shares of common stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The following summarizes the Company’s common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021: June 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Converted pre-combination Velodyne common stock outstanding 9,575,438 82,024,874 Converted pre-combination Velodyne preferred stock outstanding 24,772,759 24,772,759 Graf Founder shares 142,800 157,800 Other stockholders 181,671,713 90,391,242 Total common stock issued and outstanding 216,162,710 197,346,675 ATM Offering On June 15, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”), pursuant to which, from time to time, the Company may raise up to $100 million by selling shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“the ATM Shares”). The ATM Shares will be issued pursuant to its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that became effective on May 11, 2022. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, Oppenheimer will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions, and is entitled to a commission at a rate equal to 2.5% of the gross price of any ATM Shares sold through Oppenheimer. The ATM offering will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all common stock subject to the ATM Agreement or (ii) termination of the ATM Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Company is not required to sell any shares at any time during the term of the ATM Agreement. Net proceeds from the sale of ATM Shares will be used for general corporate purposes. The Company records the sale of its ATM Shares on a settlement date basis. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million (after deducting $0.7 million in commissions and expenses) from sales of 6,471,048 ATM Shares at an average price of $1.17 per share pursuant to the ATM Agreement. Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. Dividends The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the common stock to date. The Company may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. In addition, the Company’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness the Company or its subsidiaries incur. Public Warrants Upon the closing of the Business Combination, there were 24,876,512 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued by Graf prior to the Business Combination. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase three-quarters of one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. The warrants are exercisable at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination. The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant at any time after they become exercisable, provided that the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, subject to adjustments, for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three In connection with the Business Combination, on October 19, 2020, the Company registered the issuance of an aggregate of up to 18,657,384 shares of its common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of its warrants, including up to 375,000 shares of its common stock issuable upon exercise of its working capital warrants issued to Graf LLC. The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding warrants and common stock issuance related to the warrant exercises: June 30, December 31, 2022 2021 Warrants outstanding upon Closing 24,876,512 24,876,512 Warrants exercised to date 18,902,642 18,902,642 Warrants outstanding 5,973,870 5,973,870 Aggregated common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants 18,657,384 18,657,384 Common shares issued upon exercise of warrants 14,176,959 14,176,959 Remaining common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants 4,480,425 4,480,425 On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a statement regarding accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by SPACs. In light of the issues raised by the SEC, the Company re-evaluated its accounting position for the warrants and concluded that certain warrants should have been classified as a liability measured at fair value for the 30-day period from September 29, 2020 to October 29, 2020. Accounting for these warrants as a liability instead of equity would have reduced non-operating expense and net loss by $1.6 million for 2020. Additionally, a corresponding $1.6 million adjustment would have been made to reduce its accumulated deficit with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid in capital in its equity accounts at December 31, 2020. The Company has concluded that the effects of accounting for the warrants as a liability instead of equity were immaterial to its previously issued financial statements and, accordingly, made an adjustment to its equity accounts for the effects of the accounting for the warrants in its consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and balance sheet at December 31, 2021 by decreasing its accumulated deficit by $1.6 million with an offsetting decrease to its additional paid in capital. Amazon Warrant In February 2022, the Company and Amazon.com (“Amazon”) entered into a warrant agreement and a transaction agreement, pursuant to which Velodyne agreed to issue to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon, a warrant (“Amazon Warrant”) to acquire up to an aggregate of 39,594,032 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.18 per share. The exercise price and the warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant are subject to customary antidilution adjustments. Following stock sales under the Company’s ATM offering, as of June 30, 2022, the antidilution adjustments provided Amazon with warrants to acquire an additional 50,394 shares, for an aggregate of 39,644,426 shares. The right to exercise the warrants and receive the warrant shares that have vested expires February 4, 2030 . The warrant agreement also contains customary change-in-control provisions. The Amazon Warrant shares vest in multiple tranches over time based on payments of up to $200 million by Amazon or its affiliates (directly or indirectly through third parties) to the Company in connection with Amazon’s purchase of goods and services from the Company. Upon entry into an additional commercial agreement, certain warrant shares will vest, and the number of shares that vest in connection with future payments by Amazon to Velodyne will be reduced pro rata. As of June 30, 2022, zero of the Amazon Warrant shares are vested. When Amazon makes payments, and vesting conditions become probable of being achieved, the Company will record a non-cash stock-based reduction to revenue associated with the Amazon Warrant, which is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the Amazon Warrant shares. The fair value of the Amazon Warrant shares was measured on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Expected term, in years 6.00 Expected volatility 50.00% Risk-free interest rate 1.84% Expected dividend yield 0% |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Equity Incentive Plans 2020 Equity Incentive Plan In connection with the Business Combination, on September 29, 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units (“RSAs” and “RSUs”), and other stock or cash-based awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. The Board approved cancelling and converting all outstanding equity-awards granted under the pre-combination Velodyne’s stock plans into equity-based awards under the 2020 Plan effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, based on exchange ratios established in the Merger Agreement with the same general terms and conditions corresponding to the original awards. The shares under the pre-combination Velodyne’s stock plans have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Merger Agreement. The Company had an initial authorized reserve of 27,733,888 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan. Beginning on January 1, 2021, an additional number of shares will be reserved annually on the first day of each fiscal year for a period of no more than ten years in an amount equal to the least of (a) 5% of the total number of common shares actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year, (b) 10,000,000 common shares, or (c) a number of common shares determined by the Board. This limit is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Company’s capitalization. The number of shares reserved was 46,606,012 and the remaining shares available for issuance under the 2020 Equity Plan was 10,320,465 as of June 30, 2022. The Company uses primarily the sell-to-cover method as the tax withholding method for stock awards upon settlement, pursuant to which shares with a market value equivalent to the tax withholding obligation are sold on behalf of the holder of the awards to cover the tax withholding liability and the cash proceeds from such sales are remitted by the Company to taxing authorities. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan On September 29, 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The Company had an initial authorized reserve of 3,492,097 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP. Beginning on January 1, 2021, an additional number of shares will be reserved annually on the first day of each fiscal year for a period of no more than 20 years in an amount equal to the least of (i) 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on such date, (ii) 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the Compensation Committee or the Board. As of June 30, 2022, 785,205 shares have been issued and 6,481,317 shares remained available for future issuance under the ESPP. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the stock at the beginning or the end of the applicable purchase period, in an amount not to exceed 15% of their compensation, subject to individual purchase limits of 7,000 shares in any purchase period or $25,000 worth of stock, determined at the fair market value of the shares at the first day of an offering period, in any calendar year. Each offering period has a duration of twelve months beginning on either June 1 or December 1 and consists of two consecutive six-month purchase periods. The ESPP contains a reset provision whereby if the price of the Company’s common stock on the first day of a new offering period is less than the price on the first day of any preceding offering period, all participants in a preceding offering period with a higher first day price will be automatically withdrawn from such offering periods and re-enrolled in the new offering period. The reset feature, when triggered, will be accounted for as a modification to the original offering period, resulting in incremental expense to be recognized over the new offering period. 2020 Phantom Stock Incentive Plan In March 2021, the Board adopted the 2020 Phantom Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Phantom Stock Plan”), which provides for the granting of up to 7,635,000 phantom stock units to certain employees that settle, or are expected to settle, with cash payments upon vesting. Like equity-settled awards, phantom stock units are awarded with vesting conditions and are subject to certain forfeiture provisions prior to vesting. Phantom stock unit activity for the year ended June 30, 2022 was not significant. Stock Incentive Awards As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s outstanding incentive awards primarily included RSUs, RSAs, PRSU, performance RSAs “PRSAs” and phantom stock units under its stock incentive plans. The RSUs and RSAs typically vest on a quarterly basis over four years, or 25 percent upon the one-year anniversary date from initial vesting date, with the remainder vesting quarterly over the following three years. Certain RSUs also contain performance conditions related to the Company’s product development and business performance for the performance periods specified in the RSU agreements. In April 2022, the Company granted PRSAs that contain service, Company performance and market conditions to vest in the underlying common stock. The PRSAs vest on an annual basis over three years. The number of shares that vests is ultimately dependent on the Company’s operating results and value of the Company’s stock at the date specified in the PRSA agreements. A summary of the Company’s stock award activities during 2022 is as follows (in thousands except share and per share amount): Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share Fair Value of RSU/RSA Released RSA: RSAs outstanding as of December 31, 2021 211,298 $6.63 Granted 1,392,254 $2.21 Released (61,708) $2.20 $103 Canceled (140,254) $2.20 RSAs outstanding as of June 30, 2022 1,401,590 $2.88 RSU: RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2021 5,126,896 $10.51 Granted 8,020,089 $2.05 Released (1,114,087) $9.66 $2,810 Forfeited (1,773,344) $8.32 RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2022 10,259,554 $4.37 PRSU: PRSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2021 330,505 $6.72 Released (330,505) $6.72 $1,292 PRSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2022 — PRSA: PRSAs outstanding as of December 31, 2021 — Granted 9,781,722 $2.12 Canceled (698,150) $2.20 PRSAs outstanding as of June 30, 2022 9,083,572 $2.12 Stock-Based Compensation Expense The Company measures stock-based compensation expenses based on grant date fair value of the stock awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expenses for service-condition awards that are expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For performance-based awards, expense is recognized using an accelerated attribution method from the time it is deemed probable that the performance goal will be achieved through the time the service-based condition has been achieved. The probability of restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions is evaluated at each reporting period and share awards are updated and compensation expense is adjusted based on updated information. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The following table presents stock-based compensation expense included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Cost of revenue $ 759 $ 431 $ 1,280 $ 967 Research and development 2,831 2,754 5,187 7,664 Sales and marketing 988 41,616 1,859 43,602 General and administrative 1,733 8,404 2,920 12,502 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 6,311 $ 53,205 $ 11,246 $ 64,735 As of June 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs, RSAs, PRSAs and the ESPP was $39.2 million, $3.7 million, $7.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.20 years, 3.65 years, 1.67 years and 0.58 years, respectively. Phantom stock units are recorded as a liability at their current market value and are included in other current liabilities. These grants remain subject to vesting 25% upon the one-year anniversary date from initial vesting date, with the remainder vesting quarterly over the following three years. Based on the trading price of the Company's common stock, the amount of liability recorded related to phantom stock units was not significant at June 30, 2022. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. During the periods when there is a net loss, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company follows the two-class method when computing net income (loss) per share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The Company considers its the RSAs and PRSAs to be participating securities as holders of such securities have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of the declaration of a dividend for shares of common stock. During the periods when the Company is in a net loss position, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was not allocated to the RSAs and PRSAs under the two-class method as these securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. The following common stock equivalents have also been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive (in thousands): Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 Stock options 10 597 RSAs and PRSAs 10,485 — RSUs (non-vested) 10,010 6,060 Public warrant shares 4,480 4,483 Amazon warrant shares 39,644 — Total 64,629 11,140 |

Retirement Plan | Retirement PlanThe Company has a 401(k) savings and profit-sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which is intended to be a tax-qualified defined contribution plan that covers all eligible employees, as defined in the applicable plan documents. Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may elect salary deferral contributions, not to exceed limitations established annually by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company matches 25% of employees’ eligible contributions up to a maximum amount determined by the Company. The Company’s matching contributions vest 25% per year over the employee’s first four-year period of service. The Company’s matching contributions were $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. |

The tax provision for the periods presented primarily relates to income taxes of non-U.S. operations as the U.S. operations were in a loss position and the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States, China, Germany and India. The Company’s effective tax rate changed from (0.5)% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to (0.3)% in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to a combination of permanent tax items, mainly related to the valuation allowance recorded on U.S. deferred tax assets, foreign withholding taxes and state taxes. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Purchase and Other Commitments The Company had a total of $29.1 million in purchase commitments as of June 30, 2022. Purchase commitments represent outstanding purchase orders or non-cancelable commitments for goods or services with contract manufacturers and vendors that range mostly from one month up to a year. The Company uses several contract manufacturers to manufacture components, subassemblies and products. The Company provides these contract manufacturers with demand information and they use this information to acquire components and build products. Contract manufacturer commitments consist of obligations for on-hand inventories and non-cancelable purchase orders with contract manufactures. If the Company cancels all or part of the orders, it may still be liable to the contract manufacturers for the cost of the materials and components purchased by the subcontractors to manufacture the Company’s products. The Company also obtains individual components for its products from a wide variety of individual suppliers. In addition, the Company had a total of $0.9 million in other contractual obligations for goods or services associated with its ordinary course of business as of June 30, 2022. Product Warranties The following table summarizes the activity related to product warranty liabilities and their balances as included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 Balance as of the beginning of the period $ 1,934 $ 2,204 Warranty provision 1,893 898 Consumption (541) (649) Changes in provision estimates (1,400) (1,300) Balance as of the end of the period $ 1,886 $ 1,153 Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is involved in actions, claims, suits and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property infringement, breaches of contract or warranties or employment-related matters. The Company is defending all current litigation matters. Although there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable (except as specifically described below), the Company currently believes that none of these claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. Ouster Litigation On June 15, 2022, the Company filed complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against Ouster, Inc. and its contract manufacturer, and a lawsuit in the Northern District of California. The complaint and lawsuit each allege infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,969,558 (the “‘558 patent”) and 9,983,297 and respectively seek relief including an exclusion importation of infringing Ouster products and monetary damages. On July 22, 2022, the ITC instituted a formal investigation into the Company’s claims. On July 8, 2022 Ouster filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, Santa Clara County, against the Company and two employees of the Company, alleging trade secret misappropriation against all defendants, breach of contract against one of the individuals, violation of the unfair business practices act against the Company, and violation of false advertising laws against the Company. The Company intends to defend this action vigorously. Arbitration Proceeding Against David Hall On June 9, 2021, the Company initiated an arbitration proceeding against David Hall, alleging breach of contract and misappropriation of the Company’s confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information. To protect its intellectual property and in aid of the arbitration process, on July 2, 2021 the Company filed an application with the Santa Clara County Superior Court for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to prohibit Mr. Hall from any further copying, disclosure or use of the Company’s intellectual property and to require him to return all such property to the Company. On September 7, 2021, the arbitrator issued a preliminary injunction against Mr. Hall, ordering that: 1) Mr. Hall is enjoined from retrieving or accessing three devices to which he copied Velodyne materials and must transfer those devices to a discovery special master, who will review Mr. Hall’s retention and usage of Velodyne information and prepare reports on such retention and use; 2) Mr. Hall must provide an under-oath inventory of any and all of his personal electronic devices in his possession or control upon which Velodyne information currently resides and, upon Velodyne’s request, must provide Velodyne with access to those devices upon request to retrieve, destroy, or ensure the permanent deletion of Velodyne information from those devices; 3) Mr. Hall is enjoined from using anything he created or worked on for Velodyne during the time of his employment; and 4) In light of the preliminary injunctive relief granted under its breach of contract claim, Velodyne’s requests for relief under the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act and for a deposition were denied at this juncture, but the arbitrator expressly held that Velodyne could reinstate those demands following the special master’s report on Mr. Hall’s retention and usage of Velodyne’s materials. Mr. Hall subsequently provided an under-oath inventory pursuant to that order, which identified seventy-one personal devices that may contain Velodyne information. Because Mr. Hall did not consent to the special master conditionally appointed by the arbitrator, Velodyne and Mr. Hall are negotiating on protocol by which to preliminarily review and inspect those personal devices. On October 26, 2021, Mr. Hall filed a motion for a protective order seeking to require the Company to segregate and return his allegedly personal, private, privileged, and confidential information from his Company-issued laptop. On November 30, 2021, the judge denied Mr. Hall’s protective order, noting that Mr. Hall has no expectation of privacy as to the contents of his laptop and that he waived his right to assert privileged over the contents of the laptop. In the same ruling, the judge compelled Mr. Hall to respond to interrogatories issued by Velodyne . On December 16, 2021, the judge ruled that Velodyne sufficiently identified 2,740 allegedly-misappropriated trade secrets. On February 17, 2022, the judge imposed sanctions on Mr. Hall for discovery abuse, and ordered Mr. Hall to pay Velodyne $5,000 as sanctions. The parties have a mediation scheduled for August 30, 2022. Discrimination Proceedings by Marta Hall On August 2, 2021, the Company received a Charge of Discrimination dated July 27, 2021 (“Charge”), indicating that former Chief Marketing Officer, Marta Hall, has filed a charge of employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, alleging sexual discrimination and retaliation. On February 15, 2022, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a determination that it will not proceed with an investigation of Ms. Hall’s claim. On September 27, 2021, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) informed the Company that it dismissed a complaint brought by Ms. Hall alleging retaliation in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”). OSHA found that Ms. Hall failed to show that she engaged in a protected activity under SOX. On October 21, 2021, Ms. Hall submitted an objection to the findings and requested a hearing before an administrative law judge. The Company intends to defend the actions vigorously. Hall Proceeding Against Individuals On January 18, 2022, David Hall and Marta Hall filed a complaint against various current and former officers and directors of Velodyne and other individuals in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, entitled Hall v. Vetter, No. 22-cv-005713. The complaint alleges conspiracy to defraud, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, intentional misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, and securities fraud. The complaint alleges David and Marta Hall have suffered damages and seeks, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages. On May 3, 2022, certain defendants filed motions to compel arbitration and other defendants filed motions to quash service of process for lack of personal jurisdiction. The court conducted a hearing on the motions on July 20, 2022. The Company intends to defend the action vigorously. Quanergy Litigation In September 2016, Quanergy Systems, Inc. (“Quanergy”) filed a complaint against the Company and one of its customers in the Northern District of California (the District Court litigation), seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement of one of the ‘558 patent and asserting state and federal trade secret misappropriation claims against the Company and its customer and breach of contract and constructive fraud claims against its customer. In November 2016, Quanergy filed an amended complaint, removing its trade secret misappropriation claims against the Company, dropping its customer from the suit and dropping the related claims of breach and constructive fraud. The amended complaint maintained only the declaratory judgment of non-infringement action against the Company. In December 2016, the Company filed an answer generally denying the allegations and relief requested in Quanergy’s amended complaint. The Company’s answer also included counterclaims against Quanergy asserting direct, indirect, and willful infringement of the ‘558 patent. In January 2017, Quanergy filed an answer generally denying the allegations in the Company’s patent infringement counterclaims and requesting relief. The court held a claim construction hearing on September 13, 2017 and issued a claim construction order on October 4, 2017, which adopted the majority of the Company’s proposed constructions. In June 2018, the district court entered an order granting a joint stipulation to stay the litigation. Quanergy filed two petitions for inter partes review with the U.S. Patent Office’s Patent Trials and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) in November 2017, challenging all claims of the ‘558 patent that the Company asserted. The Company filed its Patent Owner Preliminary Response to Quanergy’s petitions on March 7, 2018. The PTAB issued an institution decision on May 25, 2018, instituting review of all challenged claims. The Company subsequently filed its Patent Owner Response and a Contingent Motion to amend the claims. The PTAB held oral argument on February 27, 2019. On May 23, 2019, the PTAB issued a Final Written Decision upholding the validity of all the challenged claims, finding that Quanergy did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence that any of the challenged claims of the ‘558 patent were unpatentable, and denying the Company’s contingent motion as moot. In June 2019, Quanergy filed a request for rehearing. On July 21, 2020, Quanergy filed a Notice of Appeal, appealing the PTAB decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Quanergy’s opening appeal brief was filed on January 22, 2021. On February 4, 2022, the Federal Circuit of Appeals issued a ruling upholding the validity of the Company’s ‘558 patent. In view of that ruling, on February 18, 2022, the district court lifted the stay. On April 18, 2022, the district court issued a scheduling order for the remainder of the proceedings. Employment Matters On June 8, 2020, a former employee filed a class action lawsuit in the Santa Clara County Superior Court of the State of California. The complaint alleges that, among other things, the Company failed to pay minimum and overtime wages, final wages at termination, and other claims based on meal periods and rest breaks. The plaintiff is bringing this lawsuit on behalf of herself and other similarly situated plaintiffs who have not been identified and is seeking to certify the action as a class action. The plaintiff has now filed a First Amended Complaint that adds a claim pursuant to California’s Private Attorneys General Act. The First Amended Complaint does not specify the amount the plaintiff seeks to recover. Velodyne’s response to the First Amended Complaint was filed on November 16, 2020 and the parties are in the process of beginning discovery concerning class certification issues. On August 5, 2021, the parties reached a tentative settlement, subject to court approval, whereby the Company will pay $0.8 million. Securities Litigation Matters On March 3, 2021, a purported shareholder of Velodyne filed a complaint for a putative class action against Velodyne, Anand Gopalan and Andrew Hamer in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, entitled Moradpour v. Velodyne Lidar, Inc., et al., No. 3:21-cv-01486-SI. The complaint alleged purported violations of the federal securities laws and that, among other things, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts about the Company’s business, operations and prospects, including with respect to David Hall’s role with the Company and removal as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. The complaint alleged that purported class members have suffered losses and sought, among other things, an award of compensatory damages on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between November 9, 2020 and February 19, 2021. On March 12, 2021, a putative class action entitled Reese v. Velodyne Lidar, Inc., et al., No. 3:21-cv-01736-VC, was filed against the Company, Mr. Gopalan and Mr. Hamer in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, based on allegations similar to those in the earlier class action and seeking recovery on behalf of the same putative class. On March 19, 2021, another putative class action entitled Nick v. Velodyne Lidar, Inc., et al., No. 4:21-cv-01950-JST, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against the Company, Mr. Gopalan, Mr. Hamer, two current or former directors, and three other entities. The complaint alleged purported violations of the federal securities laws and that, among other things, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts about the Company’s business, operations, controls and prospects and sought, among other things, an award of compensatory damages on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s securities between July 2, 2020 and March 17, 2021. The class actions have been consolidated, lead plaintiffs have been appointed and an amended consolidated complaint was filed on September 1, 2021, based on allegations similar to those in the earlier class actions. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended and consolidated complaint on November 1, 2021. The plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint on February 11, 2022. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on March 4, 2022. On July 1, 2022, the court denied the motion to dismiss as it relates to the claims related to David Hall’s role with the Company, but granted the motion to dismiss as to all other claims. The Company intends to defend the actions vigorously. On March 12, 2021, a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit entitled D’Arcy v. Gopalan, et al., No. 1:21-cv-00369-MN, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against current and former directors and/or officers Anand Gopalan, Andrew Hamer, David S. Hall, Marta Thoma Hall, Joseph B. Culkin, Michael E. Dee, James A. Graf, Barbara Samardzich, and Christopher A. Thomas, and names the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets against all of the individual defendants, and asserted a contribution claim under the federal securities laws against Mr. Gopalan and Mr. Hamer. On March 16, 2021, a second shareholder derivative lawsuit entitled Kondner, et al. v. Culkin, et al., No. 1:21-cv-00391-MN, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against most of the same defendants named in the earlier derivative complaint, and asserted claims against the individual defendants for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets. Both derivative actions are based on allegations similar to those in the class actions discussed above, and have now been consolidated. On January 3, 2022, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment, Geographic and Customer Concentration Information | Segment, Geographic and Customer Concentration Information The Company conducts its business in one operating segment that develops and produces Lidar sensors for use in industrial, 3D mapping, drones and auto applications. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM allocates resources and makes operating decisions based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about sales and gross margin by product group. The profitability of the Company’s product group is not a determining factor in allocating resources and the CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company. The Company reports revenue by region and country based on the location where its customers accept delivery of its products and services. Revenue by country and number of customers that accounted for more than 10% of revenue was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Countries over 10% of revenue: U.S. 33 % 37 % 14 % 31 % China 15 % 24 % 21 % 36 % Sweden 12 % 15 % 16 % 14 % Germany 12 % * * * * * Number of customers that accounted for over 10% of revenue: 2 1 5 2 * Less than 10%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue in the U.S. included a reduction to product revenues of $0.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, in respect of the Amazon Warrant. Refer to Note 9 for more information. The Company’s long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment, were primarily located in the United States and, to a lesser extent, Thailand as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Reclassification | Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Specifically, operating lease ROU assets, current and non-current lease liabilities and non-current contract liabilities are now presented as separate line items on the consolidated balance sheets and were previously included within other assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively. In addition, operating lease liabilities are now presented as separate line items on the consolidated statements of cash flows and were previously included within accrued and other liabilities. |
Concentration of Risk | Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments with high-quality financial institutes with investment-grade ratings. A majority of the cash balances are with U.S. banks and are insured to the extent defined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from customers located both inside and outside the U.S. The Company mitigates its credit risks by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and requires customer advance payments in certain circumstances. The Company does not require collateral. |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation in its customer contracts, total estimated future patents and their corresponding estimated development costs, total estimated costs and related progress towards complete satisfaction of performance obligation in certain services arrangements, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, common stock warrant valuation, useful lives of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill impairment, income tax uncertainties, and other loss contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. |
Amazon Warrant | The Amazon Warrant (as defined in Note 9) is accounted for as an equity instrument and measured in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. To determine the fair value of the Amazon Warrant, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is based in part on assumptions that require management to use judgment. For awards granted to a customer, which are not in exchange for distinct goods or services, the fair value of the awards earned based on service or performance conditions is recorded as a reduction of the transaction price in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Accordingly, w hen Amazon makes payments and vesting conditions become |
Recently Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which has subsequently been amended by ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, ASU No. 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The objective of the guidance in ASU 2016-13 is to allow entities to recognize estimated credit losses in the period that the change in valuation occurs. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to present financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis on the balance sheet, net of an allowance for credit losses. Available for sale and held to maturity debt securities are also required to be held net of an allowance for credit losses. For smaller reporting companies, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2023 and is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which updates various codification topics by clarifying or improving disclosure requirements to align with the SEC’s regulations. ASU 2020-10 is effective for public companies, other than smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-10 on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures. |
Fair Value Measurement | The Company categorizes assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet based on the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair value. For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact, and the Company considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are: • Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices in less active market. All significant inputs used in the valuations are observable or can be directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs are based on assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company monitors and review the inputs to ensure the fair value measurements are reasonable and consistent with market experience in similar asset classes. |
Net Loss Per Share | Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. During the periods when there is a net loss, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company follows the two-class method when computing net income (loss) per share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The Company considers its the RSAs and PRSAs to be participating securities as holders of such securities have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event of the declaration of a dividend for shares of common stock. During the periods when the Company is in a net loss position, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was not allocated to the RSAs and PRSAs under the two-class method as these securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. |
