Global shutter cameras are also not new. CCD sensors are global shutter and we used to use CCD sensors for cameras decades ago until we switched over to CMOS for most applications due to their larger size and better dynamic range. I have a global shutter HVX200 from 2005 in my closet.

My question has nothing to do with engineering and wasn’t intended practically. The point was to imagine light from some event, reaching two parts of the sensor at the same time, being exposed at the same time (ie the global shutter), and yet asking if those two parts of the sensor could show conflicting versions of that same event, since they are nonetheless separated by space.
