Am surprised no one yet cited Elon saying "this is fool's errand" because of price, complexity, etc. I think LIDAR will improve significantly the safety of vehicles (autonomous or not) because it can definitely see better and deeper, even in damning weather conditions (rain, fog, haze).
Alas, the price of these devices has to come down at least one order of magnitude. Maybe even two. Still, I am really thankful that other companies (since Tesla has no interest in it) are considering and further developing LIDAR.
