According to [1] mutual interference would be unlikely because the beam and sensor are tightly-focused, and there's a very short time window in which a spurious beam would affect the measurement. [2] mentions that radar units modulate the waveform to identify the one it sent out, I imagine the same thing could be done for lidar if interference becomes a problem.
