I want to recommend you also add ibeo to your lineup. I don't have any internal photos but I did do a write-up of it back home at RobotCentral (http://robotcentral.com/2007/11/15/sensor-technology-may-optimize-driving/). The interview and photos were conducted at the DARPA Urban Challenge. Ibeo has a complete system built on top of their unit and it's ready-to-go for application developers and each unit is expected to cost right around $300 when it hits mass production.
ZMP Inc (a Japanese company) recently introduced a Car Robotics Platform that includes a laser rangefinder. What's interesting is that the entire platform, including the rangefinder, is priced at about $5.5KUSD. It's unclear whether their embedded LRF sweeps or not.
I just discovered your blog today and immediately added it to the top of my RSS list.
This is how a blog is done! Kudos on the completeness of your articles!
