With respect, thats not what they are claiming They are saying that lidar enhances the perception system to get more accurate dimensions and rotations of objects to a greater distance. this means that you can predict far better, allowing you, for example, to drive at night full speed. Weather affects visual systems as well. The "ooo rain kills lidar" is noise at best. Visual cameras are crap at night. There is a reason that the radar augmented depth perception demo is in bright light, no rain. Because it almost certainly doesn't work as well at night, and will probably need a separate model.
