use of LIDAR.

Does anyone know when LIDAR will be implemented in DreamDrive Pro?

How lidar hardware and perception software aid OEM differentiation: Sharma

There’s a shift happening right now in the automotive industry that is placing pressure on OEMs to add more technology into vehicles. | Lidar with more accurate mapping and faster processing will help carmakers build ADAS with distinction.

Lidar is becoming more and more popular but dont know when Lucid will have a use for it. From what I know the manufacturer needs a Laser Certification and there are no clear standards for,it yet but its coming https://www.microvision.com/ they just trade marked 3 versions short/mediu/long range. Conference in Germany tomorrow.

It seems Tesla is working on radar again.

Here are some Warnings from the Owner's Manual. As you can see, the system effectively does not work (especially see the 6mph limitation):

• WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control is designed for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a collision warning or avoidance system. It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Never depend on Adaptive Cruise Control to adequately slow down the vehicle. Watch the road in front of you and be prepared to take corrective action at all times. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• WARNING: Never depend on Adaptive Cruise Control to brake for pedestrians, animals, or other objects. Always watch the road and be prepared to take corrective action. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• WARNING: Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on city streets or on roads where traffic conditions are constantly changing.
• WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect or brake for
  narrow vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles.
• WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect stationary or slow moving vehicles below 6 mph (10 km/h).
• WARNING: Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on winding roads with sharp curves, on icy or slippery road surfaces, or when weather conditions (e.g., heavy rain, snow, or fog) make it inappropriate to drive at a consistent speed. Adaptive Cruise Control does not adapt driving speed based on road and driving conditions.
• WARNING: Turn Adaptive Cruise Control off temporarily when driving in areas where you must reduce speed (e.g., turn lanes, entering and exiting highways, or construction zones). This prevents the vehicle from accelerating to the stored speed in such situations.

Those warnings remind me of most Rx drugs....it will help you, but here are the side effects.....

With EEEEHLOHHHN distracted by the Twitter and Trump Debacles, the Tesla employees are probably being left mostly alone these days, to work on some useful things - like bringing back the use of radar. It’s a good thing!

I thought this was in interesting video about car sensors in general, and the thought of getting more out of sensors the car must have for regulatory reasons anyway, packaged or combined in such a way that the consumer might be willing to pay for them as an optional capability:
