Re: Shouldn't lidar work *better* in the dark?
Obligatory WIWAL:
We were supposed to have cycle lamps on our bikes (Front & Rear) I had a dynamo powered set installed on mine rather than suffer the inevitable flat battery in the dark while cycling home.
Over the years I have seen a trend in cyclists sporting tiny flashing sets of three red LED's at the rear & a single (Or three, which purports to be ultra-bright) tiny white LED('s) usually strapped to the head (Putting me in mind of Jasper Carrott with a torch strapped to a shotgun "whats 'e doing? I dunno imitating a lighthouse) & again usually flashing as viable substitutes to aid night time riding & to be more visible to motor vehicles than the great big lights which I grew up with.
I once almost had a new fixture to my car bonnet some years ago driving up the A303 with a cyclist in the middle of the slow lane in the pitch dark & barely visible blinking rear LED's.
Something similar also occurred on the M4 only with a classic Morris Minor (As far as I could tell, as I swerved around it) pottering along at 25mph with tiny red & very very dim original rear lights.
Those of a certain age will recall the following very well:
