I tweeted at him to ask him what size lens and sensor he has so I could estimate how much energy/flux was hitting his sensor. Anyone have an idea of how many lidar it would take to saturate an area and make distance measurements useless? It's tougher with lidar because you can't easily frequency shift like with radar.

If it's a $2000 Sony camera, it's definitely going to be a 35mm sensor. His lens on the other hand I wouldn't be able to guess.
It's a Sony ILCE-7RM2 with a 35mm lens at f/4: https://twitter.com/jitrc/status/1083190800710684673
I'm puzzled by the fact that it's only burned in two spots. This is a mirrorless camera so the lidar would be going into the lens and hitting the sensor constantly, not just during the exposure. I wonder what's happened here.
Somebody mentioned it's a pulsing one.
