The point i wanted to express is that although LIDAR could be an improvement it is not per se the „way to go“ with ADAS today. Please consider that some, eg Audi, offer ADAS using lidar and it is not nearly as capeable as Teslas system. Costs matter. I am very certain that Waymo has no autonomous vehicle today that mist people would be ok to go around their neighbourhood driverless. „Full autonomy“- socially acceptable- does not exist today. Whether it can be done, with or without Lidar, remains to be seen.
