Lidars have been reporting per-point intensity values for quite a while. The dynamic range is definitely not 1 bit.

Many Lidar visualization software will happily pseudocolor the intensity channel for you. Even with a mechanically scanning 64-line Lidar you can often read a typical US speed limit sign at ~50 meter in this view.
