Read an interesting article that a man using a Sony Mirrorless had it damaged by the lasers used by self driving cars.
Self-driving cars widely use a technology called lidar (which stands for light detection and ranging) to “see” the world using laser pulses. These lasers are designed to be safe to human eyes, but it seems they may not always be safe for cameras. A man at CES in Las Vegas says that a car-mounted lidar permanently damaged the sensor in his new $1,998 Sony a7R II mirrorless camera.

Would be interested to know what those who understand the technology think?
