It's already cost effective. Lidar prices have been divided by like 10 in a bit more than a decade. I've read a Wall street story about a SV company that wanted to enter the Lidar market for cars, only to bifurcate to a weird scam and a SPAC when they realized as the prices fell that Lidar would never be a very profitable. Lidar production costs have already scaled. Now it need more miniaturization (which will help with production costs even more) and something against diffraction.
