Hesai, the world’s largest maker of automotive lidar sensors, was added to the Pentagon’s blacklist last year.

Introduced a few years ago, the LiDAR scanner is available on the Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15, as well as the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2020 and later.

The lidar sensor mounted in a pod above the windshield shot out a laser barrage of near-infrared light into the camera. The damage was immediate and obvious, leaving behind a red, pink and purple ...

SOMETHING as simple as taking a photo or a video of a car could break your phone’s camera. It may seem harmless, but if the vehicle is fairly new, it could have a LiDAR sensor – which i… ...

Plus, Tesla's Q2 deliveries are expected this week and feds are proposing to end the EV tax credit even sooner.

A Volvo EX90's lidar sensor was caught on video damaging a smartphone's built-in camera.; The lidar's lasers damaged the camera's telephoto lens, which fried certain pixels. Here's a PSA: Don't ...

PSA: Lidar and high-powered lasers, increasingly common in cars and at entertainment venues, can cause permanent damage to smartphone cameras – even those built to withstand everyday wear.

Volvo's lidar system, for example, uses 1550-nanometer lasers, and at that wavelength, the light can't even reach the retina. We still wouldn't recommend staring at them, though.

The LiDAR system fitted on the Volvo EX90 is supplied by a company named Luminar. Now, such systems either employ the infrared beams of 1550 nanometer wavelength, or the 905/940 nanometer cluster ...

A car’s lidar sensor can permanently damage your phone camera if you point it directly at it. A Galaxy S24 Ultra owner reported similar damage after attending a laser-heavy light show.
