Jumping on the 'agree' bandwagon.
>The long term safer option will be to use both types of sensors before together
This 100% is the real target but I'd like to add to it.
Camera-based systems rely on ambient photons arranged in a pre-determinded configuration hitting a sensor.
Lidar-based systems rely on reflected photons hitting a sensor.
What I would prefer to see is a LiDAR/RADAR combination.
When both systems rely on "photons" you suffer the same inherited weaknesses of both.
i.e. fog

But split it up and you can be SAFER.
