      Do you have lidar on your head? No, yet you’re able to drive with just two cameras on your face. So no lidar isn’t required. Not that driving in a very dynamic world isn’t very difficult for computers to do, it’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of time.

      Would lidar allow “super human” driving abilities? Like seeing through fog and in every direction in the dark, sure. But it’s not required for the job at hand.

          K and KA band are used for blind spot monitoring and would make radar detectors go nuts until filtering got worked out, cars that use Lidar will set them off as well though they’re more rare still

            What?

            What does Radar have anything to do with Lidar?

            They are completely in different EM spectrums.

            Also modern LIDAR is keyed in a way that LIDAR systems can’t interfere with other LIDAR systems.

              Maybe because I dunno, it’s a detector? I’d love to try to explain it further but it seems like you’re being intentionally oblivious so why bother lol
