User:MaryGaulke/sandbox/Velodyne requests

Hi! I work for a communications firm that represents Velodyne, and I'd like to suggest that this article be split into two articles: One for Velodyne LiDAR, and one for Velodyne. This would reflect a formal split in the company that occurred last year.

New Velodyne LiDAR article
Using the current LiDAR-related contents of the current article, I've mocked up a new Velodyne LiDAR article in my sandbox. I've also made several updates to what's currently in the article:
 * Added sources for unreferenced information, and revised wording in a few cases to reflect the sources more accurately (notably re: the Smithsonian donation and Velodyne's involvement in DARPA's autonomous car races)
 * Added COO and number of employees to infobox
 * Updated lead with industry context, and replaced reference to Waymo with a more holistic reference to Velodyne LiDAR's use in the autonomous car industry in general.
 * In this History section, added details and source on Velodyne LiDAR getting spun off from Velodyne as a separate company.
 * Also in the History section, added more recent information about construction of new facilities
 * Split part of the History section into new "Technology" and "Major customers and partners" sections
 * Added information to "Technology" section regarding the sensors' capabilities, recent developments in low-cost solid-state sensors, and the Velarray sensor announced in April
 * Added clarification around Google/Alphabet/Waymo nomenclature and note that Alphabet no longer uses Velodyne sensors to "Major customers and partners" section
 * Added two photos
 * The logo also needs to be updated, but I've held off on that as logos uploaded to Wikipedia have to be used in an article within 7 days or get deleted, and I don't know how long it will take to get a response to this request. When the time comes, the logo is available here, or I'm happy to upload myself with the proper justification templates.

Updating the Velodyne article
I suggest these updates to the existing Velodyne article:
 * Rename article from "Velodyne LiDAR" to "Velodyne"
 * Remove LiDAR references from infobox and update the site URL to www.velodyneacoustics.com and www.velodynemarine.com
 * In infobox, update President to Marta Thoma Hall
 * Remove LiDAR references from the lead, and add
 * Remove LiDAR subsection from Company History section
 * Remove first part of Company History section as redundant to Audio subsection
 * Add Marine subsection to Company History section:


 * Remove "External links" section as redundant of infobox
