- neilv 2y agoI'd wondered about the eye safety of LIDAR on prototype autonomous vehicles, but then thought "surely anything at all unsafe to eyes wouldn't be allowed on public streets." Now I'm reminded of all the unregulated recklessness in some technical topics that I do understand, and realizing it's silly to assume.
