The article didn't seem to go into regulatory issues at all. I'm not qualified to speak to the technical merits of LIDAR versus computer vision systems. But coming from a business planning background, and considering the fact that global rules surrounding LIDAR's use in consumer products can be charitably called "a patchwork", it seems to me that computer vision systems would be far easier to implement in a product designed for global export than LIDAR systems.
