What are your thoughts on Geiger LIDAR, ie Princeton Lightwave (which was acquired by Ford/Argo)?

SPADs (single photon avalanche photodiodes) are APD's operated in Geiger mode...

Princeton lightwave is also reportedly doing scanning flash even with 1550nm GmAPDs. Note that spads in InGaAs have much higher dark count rates (i think due to poorer crystal growth technology?)
