  • Yeah and the lidar would need to be stationary, which they never are because that would render the lidar beam unsafe for human eyes as well. Most lidars have a beam that is harmful if pointed directly for a longer period than you would blink if looking directly into something rally bright. Because they are infrared you don’t have that reaction. Therefore it is mounted on a very fast moving rotary disc. Most of the time the disc itself is also tilting up and down or refracted by a mirror or glass to get a bigger field-of-view". This article is saying, you cab destroy a camera by pointing a laser in the sensor. Yeah, dûh but the lidar won’t break it.
