There's been at least one sketchy self driving startup that drove their LiDAR hard enough they burnt holes in journalists' camera sensors at CES.

I'd wondered about the eye safety of LIDAR on prototype autonomous vehicles, but then thought "surely anything at all unsafe to eyes wouldn't be allowed on public streets."

Now I'm reminded of all the unregulated recklessness in some technical topics that I do understand, and realizing it's silly to assume.
