Are LIDAR dangerous to the eyes of other drivers or pedestrians?
No, there’s a class system for laser safety The rating is for you to stick your eyes right up to it for a long period of time and still be fine

> Is that because their vision fails to provide the information necessary to drive safely? In certain conditions, yes. Humans drive terribly in dark and low light, something lidar excels in.
Still, millions of humans drive every night and only a miniscule percentage cause any accidents. So maybe we are not so bad at this.

That's a bold claim. Care to justify it?
Yeah, it only works in extremely controlled environments driving really slowly. The design is also flawed as it has to work with cameras anyway. The last thing you want is two systems arguing over what they see.
Sensor fusion is a thing. There are no two systems that “argue with each other”. I can’t believe the same old ignorant tropes are still making rounds.

Drivers can also be blinded by consumer grade laser pointers. If someone starts attacking safety systems physically I would expect they will get quite a bit of jail time.
Messing with machines have a way lower ethical threshold for most people. Like fooling vending machines to give you soda. Nothing 'my teenage friend' lost sleep over.
We’re in the regime of throwing rocks at a freeway from a bridge to cutting brake lines as a prank. The attack surface here isn’t new and isn’t difficult to think through. Someone who can’t is going to be equally dangerous, machine or man.

Also he wants to reuse the foundational machine vision tech in Optimus bot, which probably won't have lidar.
Optimus should probably have LiDAR more than a car…

Based on presentations we've seen what sets Tesla apart are its datasets not the core technology. And those don't translate across to the Optimus bot.

Ye I have a hard time imaganing how a car radar image looks like. On boat radars it seems like the radar have really high resolution (can see much further than lidars) but have worse accuracy. I.e. things looks like blobs. A lidar image at 50+ meters is very sparse.
Roughly like in this paper https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/RadarScenes:-A-Real-Wo...
