Does anyone know if comma.ai can use the lidar to improve its self driving car algos? In general, is this lidar sensor long range enough to help cars drive?

The lidar sensor is short range, around 5 meters from the article.

This is more in line with parking sensors or something, not the long range lidar that has been used for some self driving car research that can spot traffic and obstacles at a distance.

Comma uses a RTOS and a lot of hardware level tweaks. It would not work on an iphone.
