Before (L) and after (R) condition of the phone camera. A video going viral on social media claims that pointing the phone camera directly at a car's LiDAR sensor could be an expensive affair.

Waymo's robotaxis are equipped with five lidars, six radar sensors, and 29 cameras. Waymo says lidar and radar help the robotaxi detect pedestrians before cameras can. The company showed how ...

PSA: Lidar and high-powered lasers, increasingly common in cars and at entertainment venues, can cause permanent damage to smartphone cameras – even those built to withstand everyday wear.

One reddit user found out earlier this month that car-mounted lidar sensors can damage a phone camera under certain circumstances. It was the technological equivalent of staring directly into the Sun.

A Volvo EX90's lidar sensor was caught on video damaging a smartphone's built-in camera. The lidar's lasers damaged the camera's telephoto lens, which fried certain pixels. Here's a PSA ...
